Side view of a single engined light aircraft parked on grass facing to the right.
The plane is mostly dark blue, with white upper surfaces, a white stripe running along the body, and the white registration "G-AZGF" on the lower rear fuselage.
There is small white text reading "Beagle Pup" on the engine cowling, and small black text reading "Pup 150" under the cockpit windows.

Green grass fills most of the foreground, with the sharply-angled green metal side wall of a hangar dominating the background on the right, with a sandy brown car, a white light aircraft, and a couple of brown buildings in the background on the left, all under bright but hazy sky.
