Side view of a high-winged, 34 propellor-engined military transport aircraft parked facing to the right on a black runway, with it's cargo ramp in the rear fuselage deployed, with a vehicle moving along the runway that has obviously just come out of the back of the plane. The plane is covered in a grey and green-brown camouflage scheme, with small "Royal Air Force" titles on the side of the forward fuselage, the large black number "218" under the cockpit windows on the nose. There is a large blue and red roundel on the side of the rear fuselage, followed by the small serial "XV218". The black number "218" is repeated on the tail, over a blue and red fin flash. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass on the far side of the runway. More grass in the background leads up to a pair of white and blue jet fighters on the left, and blue hangars on left and right, with trees beyond, under flat white sky.

Side view of a single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass. The plane sis in a vaguely military-looking olive-green colour scheme, with large, seemingly random patches of white in several places, and the white registration "D-EARY" on the side of the rear fuselage. The engine cowling on the nose is bright yellow, with a large image of a rather aggressive-looking bird with it's mouth open in a screech, with a red banner with the words "Screaming Eagle" underneath. The tail has a black and white large checkerboard pattern on the front half, the rear half being bright yellow with a black and white fin flash towards the top. A section at the rear of the tail has a finer black and white checkerboard pattern. Green grass fills the rest of the frame, except for a dirt track crossing from one side to the other.
