Vickers

Side View of a single engined, single seat bi-plane light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low latitude, less than a metre above a grass runway. The plane is mostly red, with a pair of white stripes running along the body, overlaid with the white registration "G-HOON", with similar white stripes running the length of the spats on the main wheels, under the wings. The front of the tail is red, with white "Pitts S-1S"text, while the rear is covered in a red and white checkerboard pattern, which can also be seen on the outer panels of the under side of the wings. A person wearing a white flying helmet can be seen in the single seat cockpit, under a domed canopy. Grrn grass fills the rest of the frame, with the plane casting a strong shadow on the ground behind it, suggesting that the sun is coming from the top left corner.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner parked on grey concrete apron, facing to the left. The plane is largely white, with a dark blue belly, and a yellow stripe running along the body, separating the 2 colours. There are large, blue, billboard-style "RyanAir" titles on the sides of the forward fuselage, next to a blue, stylised winged Irish harp. The black registration "EI-EPA" is on the upper rear fuselage, next to a small Irish flag. The engine pods hanging under the wings are the same colours as the body - white on top, and dark blue at the bottom, separated by a yellow stripe. Built-in airstairs are deployed below the closed forwards cabin door, while white mobile airstairs are parked by the closed rear doors. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with a wide strip of grass leads up to a runway in the background, with trees beyond that. Pale blue sky with wisps of thin grey cloud fill the top half of the image.
