Rear view of a squat and boxy, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner facing slightly to the right but mostly away from the camera. The plane has a grey upper half and dark blue lower, with a thin red pinstripe on the lower fuselage, ending in a half arrowhead at the front. There are black "British Airways Express" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The top half of the tail are dark blue, with a large grey heraldic crest in the middle. The lower half is grey, with a dark blue and red triangle at the rear. A group of people, some wearing bright yellow hi-viz jackets, are clustered around the left rear of the plane. Grey concrete apron fills most of the background, with A pair of white airbridges hanging off the side of a grey building on the left of the frame, and a larger jet airliner wearing the same livery nosing into frame from the right.

Side view of a twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at low angle with the undercarriage retracted and only a small amount of flaps from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is doing a flypast as part of a display routine. The plane is mostly white, with black "EuroDirect" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and an enormous, black, lower-case letter "e" , tilted slightly on it's side, on the rear fuselage. The tail is yellow, with a large, black, lower=case letter "e" in the middle. Grey sky fills the background.

Side view of a high-winged, 4 propellor-engined military cargo plane parked on a black runway, with the red and white tips of the propellors a spinning blur indicating they are running full tilt, flaps extended from behind the wings, and the rear cargo loading ramp almost fully deployed, with a man wearing olive-green fatigues crouched by the end of the ramp. The plane is covered in an olive-green and grey camouflage scheme, with a blue and red roundel on the rear fuselage, next to the black serial number "VX232". There is a black number "232" on the nose under the cockpit, repeated on the tail, where it is sandwiched between a British flag above, and a red and blue fin flash below. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass leading up to a tall grey hangar on the left, and a lower blue hangar on the left, with a couple of grey fighter jets in front of the latter. Grey sky fills 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.

Front side view of a bright red, high-winged, twin propellor-engined parked facing to the left and slightly towards the camera. The plane's roof and the tops of the wings and engines are a shiny black, and black "British Antarctic Survey" are on the lower forward fuselage under the passenger cabin windows. A door in the rear fuselage is hanging open. Metal skids are mounted on the undercarriage, the wheels poking through the bottom. There is a white board on a wooden easel which has indecipherable text about this plane which partially obscures the nose on the left of the frame. Crowds of people behind a low metal fence are visible in the background, under flat white skies.

A black helicopter hovering several metres above the ground. There are very few markings, the silver registration "N520EA" on the engine pod on top of the fuselage, and the white text "MD520N" at the top of the twin tails at the end of the long tail boom. Mown grass flies in the air being forced down by the large rotor blades. Several white light aircraft can be seen in the background at the bottom of the frame, a background dominated by a brown brick control tower with a heavily glazed white top floor, where a man standing on a balcony is taking of photo of the helicopter. Trees stretch across the frame in the distance, under blue skies.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined airliner parked on a runway facing to the left, it's propellors blurred as they spin. The plane has red "LoganAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, followed by black text "Scotlands Airline". The registration "G-LGNT" is on the upper rear fuselage, in black. The tail is covered in a red, black, and white tartan pattern. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass in the background leading up to a large grey building in the distance. Pale blue sky with smears of grey cloud fill the rest of the frame

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner accelerating from right to left along a black runway. The plane is mostly white, with multi-coloured "Small Planet" titles along the fuselage, successive letters in red, blue, purple, yellow, and green. The black registration "LY-SPE" is on the lower rear fuselage. The engine pods mounted under the wings are a deep blue, with white "SmallPlanet.Aero" text. The tail is dark blue, with a stylised multi-coloured globe and yellow stars. Lush green grass fills the foreground, with tall green trees in the distance behind the plane on either side, under blue sky with smears of cloud.

Side view of a white military transport helicopter parked facing to the left on a black tarmac taxiway. The helicopter has a blue stripe running along the body and tail boom, with a zig-zag down to below the cockpit windows. Sponsons on the rear fuselage house the main landing gear. A large panel that normally covers the engine has been dropped down, exposing the inner workings. A large sign has been placed against the nose, giving some detail about the aircraft. In the background, crowds of people are visible behind waist-level metal fences, with some tents and other exhibits behind them. Dismal grey skies fill the rest of the frame.
