Side view of a helicopter flying from right to left at a very low altitude, about 5 metres above the ground. It is white upper surfaces on the front of the body, with light blue "National Grid" titles on the side of the engine bay on top of the fuselage. The bottom is sky blue, sweeping up towards the rear of the fuselage, and filling the tail boom, with diagonal lime green and red stripes on the rear fuselage, and the white registration "G-RIDB" on the side of the tail boom. Green grass fills the bottom of the frame, with a row of bushes across the middle with a wooden gate with a red and white striped top bar in the centre. Trees fill most of the rest of the frame, with grey sky at the top.

Side front view of a high-winged, single engined light aircraft parked facing to the left in a field of grass. The plane is mostly white, with a blue and red swirly stripe running along the body and up into the tail, overlaid with the blue registration "G-BNTP" on the side of the rear fuselage. An orange traffic cone, filled with weights, is attached to the underside of each wing, weighing it down in case of high winds. Another plane can be seen in the background on the left, under this planes wing, with more grass, and trees in the distance visible under the wing on the right. Flat white sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a very large, white, 4 engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage extended and flaps deployed from behind the wing, suggesting it is just about to land. There are large golden "Emirates" titles on the forward fuselage, repeated in a smaller Arabic script over the wings. The web address "www.emirates.com" is on the lower forward fuselage, also in gold. There is a golden logo on each engine pod, made up of the Arabic letters that make up the word that trans-literates as "Etihad", but re-arranged in a decorative pattern. The tail has the flag of the United Arab Emirates (red vertical bar on the right, with green, white, and black horizontal stripes on the left), looking as if it is waving in the breeze. In the foreground, a mass of parked cars, mostly black but with a few scattered reds, and a small blue van in the middle, are packed densely along the bottom of the frame, with a strip of green grass leading up to more parked cars on the far side of the runway, behind a black chainlink fence. Trees beyond that lead up to hills shrouded in mist in the distance, under grey skies.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps drooping down from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about top land. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly, and a yellow stripe running along the body below the passenger cabin windows. There are large, dark blue "RyanAir titles on the sides of the forward fuselage, and the registration "G-RUKM" on the upper rear. The tail is dark blue, with a large, yellow, winged Irish harp in the middle. The engine pods are similar to the body, white on top, blue on the bottom, and a yellow stripe through the middle. The tops of trees can be seen at the bottom of the frame, with cloudy sky with patches of pale blue filling the rest.
