Rear-side view of a high-winged, single-engined light aircraft parked in a vaulted-roofed metal hangar. The plane is largely white, with red and blue stripes running along the body, overlaid with the black registration "G-CTAB" on the side of the rear fuselage. A red and white sun-burst pattern covers the top of both the wings and the horizontal stabiliser. The tail is white, with 3 blue and 3 red 5-pointed stars forming a rough triangle, the word "Citabria" in an ornate script in the middle, and the small text "North West Aerobatics right at the top. Grey brushed concrete floor fills the foreground and a lot of the background, with blue internal beams supporting metal walls and ceiling. A couple of people, one wearing a yellow hi-viz vest, are facing the far wall at the end. Blooms of green and bloom light are visible in the middle and edges of the frame, caused by shooting through slightly murky glass.

Side view of a 4 engined military jet submarine-hunter aircraft, parked facing to the right on concrete hard-standings in the middle of a field of gravel, on outdoor display in a small museum. The plane is entirely grey, with a large grey probe extending forward from above the cockpit windows, reaching out of the right side of the frame. The engines are buried in pairs in the wing root, with red covers inside the intakes. A blue pod hangs from a pylon under the right wing. Grey gravel fills the foreground, with metal barriers making a walkway up to a grey set of mobile airstairs parked against the planes main door behind the cockpit.

The black serial "XM603" is on the power part of the tail, under a blue, white, and red fin flash, with red "Avro Vulcan" titles towards the top of the tail. There are people clustered under the belly of the plane, with another group of people under the tail, looking up at the engine exhausts, coming out of the rear of the wings, next to the rear fuselage.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner on a black runway, moving slowly from right to left, slight puffs of steam rising from the runway behind it suggesting it is accelerating for take-off. The plane is mostly white, with thin gold and red pinstripes running along the body, and large gold "Etihad" titles on the upper fuselage, over the wings, in English, with smaller titles in an Arabic script a bit further forward. Additional golden text "From Abu Dhabi To The World" just above the gold and red strip on the forward fuselage. The tail has a golden bird with wings partially extended, and a circular version of the flag of the United Arab Emirates on the chest, in the middle. There is a large text area on the upper rear fuselage advertising the Abu Dhabi Formula Grand Prix on the upper rear fuselage, with the web address "wwwDotEtihadAirwaysDotCom" in gold on the lower rear, and the black registration "A6-ETJ" under the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with a large terminal building in the background on the right, and a grey hangar in the background on the left. Rolling blue-grey cloud fills the top of the frame, with light blue patches of clear sky in places.

Front view of a twin engined jet airliner being towed from right to left, although the white tug doing the towing has turned back to the right, and the plane is slowly turning to follow. The plane is white, with a red and yellow stripe coming from under the forward fuselage, swooping over the wing and back down under the rear fuselage, widening over the wing to fill the rear fuselage and tail. There are red "Hainan Airlines" titles on the upper fuselage, in a Chinese script between the two forward cabin doors, and in English over the wing root. The black registration "B-304K" can be seen on the upper rear fuselage. An intricate yellow and gold flowery design fills the red tale. Grey squares of concrete apron fills the foreground and most of the background, with temporary buildings, white and blue mobile airstairs, and the metal support structure of a new pier under construction in the background.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner with thrust reversers open in the sides of the engine pods, moving at speed from right to left as it turns off the runway. The plane is mostly white, with a pair of thin stripes coming up from under the nose, over the wing, and along to the end of the body, with a similar stripe on the tail. The black registration "HZ-A5" is on the upper rear fuselage, and is about the only other markings. Green grass fills the foreground, with a runway passing through at the bottom of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined flying from left to right at a low altitude, it's wings banked to the left, with flaps lowered slightly behind the wings, and it's undercarriage stowed away. A bright light is shining forwards about halfway along each wing. The fuselage is mostly white, with a thin blue, red, and orange stripe running along the body from the nose, gradually getting wider as it moves rearwards, until the blue sweeps up to fill the tail. The number "227" is on the lower forward fuselage in large black print, with the much smaller registration "G-JATP" on the lower rear fuselage. Grey cloudy sky fills the rest of the frame.
