Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined flying from left to right at a low altitude, it's wings banked to the left, with flaps lowered slightly behind the wings, and it's undercarriage stowed away. A bright light is shining forwards about halfway along each wing. The fuselage is mostly white, with a thin blue, red, and orange stripe running along the body from the nose, gradually getting wider as it moves rearwards, until the blue sweeps up to fill the tail. The number "227" is on the lower forward fuselage in large black print, with the much smaller registration "G-JATP" on the lower rear fuselage. Grey cloudy sky fills the rest of the frame.

Rear view of a squat and boxy, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner facing slightly to the right but mostly away from the camera. The plane has a grey upper half and dark blue lower, with a thin red pinstripe on the lower fuselage, ending in a half arrowhead at the front. There are black "British Airways Express" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The top half of the tail are dark blue, with a large grey heraldic crest in the middle. The lower half is grey, with a dark blue and red triangle at the rear. A group of people, some wearing bright yellow hi-viz jackets, are clustered around the left rear of the plane. Grey concrete apron fills most of the background, with A pair of white airbridges hanging off the side of a grey building on the left of the frame, and a larger jet airliner wearing the same livery nosing into frame from the right.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right at a busy airport. The plane is largely white, with mauve, billboard-style "Qatar" titles on the forward fuselage, repeated in a grey Arabic script on the upper forward fuselage, above the wing root, and the black registration "A7-BOF" on the lower rear fuselage, just below the last few cabin windows, and a small Qatari flag just above those windows. The tail is a very light grey, with darker grey stripes overlaid with the head of an animal with horns sticking out of the back of it's head. A smaller, circular version of the tail logo appears on the side of the white engine pods mounted under the wings. Grey concrete apron, marked with yellow lines for planes to follow, some of which are lit up, fills the foreground. More apron space fills the background, with a total of 13 jet airliners visible, parked facing in various directions, in an array of liveries that predominantly feature shades of white, blue, grey, and red. Trees in the distance are being swallowed up by grey mist.
