WingletWednesday

Side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft flying from right to left at a very low altitude, just a couple of metres above a grass runway, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. The plane is largely white, with a thick red stripe running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-CGFG" on the side of the rear fuselage, and a red panel on top of the engine cowling in front of the cockpit. A large area of grass fills the bottom of the frame in the background, with trees in the distance, under pale blue sky.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the right in the middle of a grass airfield. The plane is in a metallic grey paint job, with twisted red and yellow ribbons running along the body, along with rows of silvery oblongs, and up into the tail. The silver registration "ZS-SUB" is on the side of the lower rear fuselage. Metallic grey spats with more twisted yellow and red ribbons cover the wheels on the undercarriage. The cockpit doors on either side are open, hinged upwards and forwards, giving access to the 4 seat cabin. Green grass fills the foreground, with more light aircraft parked, mostly facing to the right, in the background. Trees in the distance mark the airfield perimeter, with pylons holding powerlines marching across the frame beyond, under blue skies.

Side view of a high-winged, single propellor-engined light aircraft flying straight and level from right to left at a very low altitude, with flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is white, with a blue and black stripe running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-BPVA" on the sides of the rear fuselage, with similar stripes running over the spats on the undercarriage. Green grass fills the bottom of the frame, except for a narrow strip of yellow grass that runs across the frame. Trees fill the background.

Rear side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the right on black tarmac. The plane is largely white, with a thin blue and yellow stripe running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-LACB" on the side of the rear fuselage. There is a red star on the white tail, made up of an upper case letter "A" with wings at the sides, overlaid with the silhouette of a small plane flying upwards, and with the text "LAC Flying School" at the bottom. Black tarmac fills the foreground, with a red brick building in the background, on the right, and trees on the left, with a tall bridge in the distance, under flat grey sky.

Front side view of a microlight aircraft parked on grass, facing to the right, with its left wingtip resting on the ground. What little fuselage there is, is a metal frame covered in a carbon fibre shell, with a pair of tandem seats in an open cockpit on top, with a small engine driving a pusher propellor immediately behind, suspended under a large, triangular parasol wing. A small nosewheel is embedded in the forward shell, with main gear covered in yellow spats are on the end of outriggers attached just in front of the engine. The carbon fibre shell is bright yellow, with the wing being mostly yellow, and blue leading edges and cream trailing edge. The black registration "G-MTMW" is on the underside of the left side of the wing. Green grass fills most of the bottom of the frame, with another microlight with a yellow and purple wing on the right of the background, and a single engined light aircraft taxiing away from the camera on the left. Bright but hazy sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left, turning on to a grey runway. The plane is in a silver finish, with dark blue "SkyTeam" titles on the upper forward fuselage, above the forward cabin windows, and smaller "Air France" titles under those windows. The rear fuselage has some dark blue scrollwork, next to the black registration "F-GKXS" on the upper rear fuselage. The dark blue tail has a thin crescent forming the bottom of a white circle, the white word "SkyTeam" forming the top, and has some more white scrollwork in the middle. Green grass lines the sides of the taxiway in the foreground, with blue-grey sky filling the rest of the frame.

Side view of a single-engined, high-winged light aircraft being pushed around by a man wearing a check grey shirt and blue jeans. His right hand is holding the planes propellor, while his right hand is guiding a red pole that attaches to the planes nosewheel. The plane is mostly white, with a blue stripe running along the lower body, and the black registration "G-CLFG" on the sides of the rear fuselage. Black tarmac fills the foreground, with a corrugated grey metal hangar filling the background.

Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked facing to the left on grass. The plane is covered in wavy black and white stripes, looking vaguely like a zebra would if it had wings. Bright green grass fills the foreground and much of the background, with trees in the distance under blue skies. The tail of another light aircraft can be seen in the background on the left, silver at the front and a black and yellow checkerboard pattern at the rear, overlaid with a red star outlined in yellow, and the black letters "FA" under the horizontal stabiliser.

Side view of a white, single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the right on grass. The plane looks very sleek, with smooth flowing lines, and a large bubble canopy over the side-by-side cockpit. The plane has a grey belly, with a thin red stripe separating that from the white, and red registration "G-CGLT" on the side of the rear fuselage. The fixed, nose-wheel undercarriage has white sponsons over the wheels. Green grass fills the foreground, with a strong shadow being cast on the ground, suggesting the sun is high in the sky. More light aircraft can be seen in the background - a red one on the left, a yellow one with a high wing in the middle, and a white and orange one on the right. Trees in the distance meet blue sky.

Side view of a white and black, single engined aerobatic light aircraft parked on grass facing to the left. The plane has black top and bottom surfaces, with a thick white stripe running along the body, and gold piping in between. The registration "G-IITI" is on a thick white stripe on the black tail. There is a large, glazed canopy over the cockpit, with small white "Nigel Lamb" titles on the fuselage immediately behind the canopy. There are also glazed panels in the lower fuselage, under the wings. Black spats cover the wheels on the fixed landing gear. Green grass fills the foreground. A large, red brick hangar is on the right of the frame in the background, with smaller green buildings next to it, towards the middle of the frame. The tail of a white light aircraft and a small, camouflaged helicopter are in the background on the left. Cloudy grey sky fills the rest of the frame.
