Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, just a few metres above a black runway, with flaps extended in front of and behind the wings, the undercarriage lowered, and the nose raised, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is blue on top, with a white lower third, the white swooping up over the wing and back down again. There are red "Thomson" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a red winky-face made up of the letters "T", "U", and "I" on the blue tail. The blue on the rear fuselage, just in front of and below the tail, swops downwards, the space filles by a dark blue patch. The white registration "G-TUID" is on the dark blue part of the upper rear fuselage, next to a small UK flag, above the rearmost cabin windows and just ahead of the rear door, with white text "Boeing 787-8" just aft of the door. There is cream text "Dream)Liner" below the rear cabin windows. Large, white engine pods hang below and in front of the wing, the scalloped edges of the rear of the fairings being rather obvious. A black taxiway stretches across the bottom of the frame, with strips of grass separating that from the black runway, and more grass visible under the pane in the background leading up to trees in the distance, under bright but hazy sky with patches of pale blue peeking through.

Front view of a twin engined BizJet taxiing from right to left towards the camera on a wide grey taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a green squiggle with a grey drop shadow running from under the engines mounted on the sides of the rear fuselage, forwards along the body under the passenger cabin window, then up between the cockpit windows and the main door, then rearwards again, over the top of the cabin windows, stopping about half-way along the body S similar strip runs from the bottom left to top right of the tail. There are a pair of bright lights shining in the wing root, creating a slight flare in the image, and causing bright reflections on the fuselage. A large grey and blue hangar dominates the background on the left, with cloudy grey sky filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined, bi-plane, pre-World War 2-era airliner taxiing from left to right on a grass airfield. The plane has a white top half with a grey belly, with a green and black stripe running along the body, and green "Caernarfon Air World" titles on the lower forward fuselage. A man can been seen sitting in the highly glazed cockpit, with a woman staring out from one of the curved, angular passenger cabin windows. A brown brick control tower can be seen in the middle of the background, with a couple of parked light aircraft on the left, and a red fire truck on the right, under flat grey sky.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey runway. The plane is primarily dark blue, with large white "Family Life" titles on the forward, with much smaller "Hotels" text below the last 2 letters. A pair of cartoon characters, an orange teddy bear and a yellow dog, are on the rear fuselage, either side of the white registration "G-FDZG". The tail is a light blue, with a red winky face that looks like the letters "T", "U", and "i" squished together. Green grass fills the foreground, with trees stretching across the background, under grey sky.

Side view of a black, single engined military jet fighter taxiing from left to right along a grey runway. The plane is basically a large black engine pod with a white belly, with twin black tail booms stretching backwards from the wing root, carrying the small twin tails. The cockpit canopy at the front of the plane is open, slid back along the top of the fuselage, with the bright red helmet of the pilot clearly visible in the gap. The tail booms has white "Royal Navy" titles, just aft of a blue, white, and red roundel. The registration "G-GONE" is on the end of the boom in white, under the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with a large grey building dominating the frame on the right, and trees on the left in the background, under bright but hazy skies.
