Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane has a deep blue belly, with a yellow stripe running along the body and under the nose, , with blue engine pods slung under the wing, and a blue tail with a yellow, winged flying harp in the middle. There are blue "RyanAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just aft of another, smaller, yellow flying harp. The registration "EI-CKP" is on the upper rear fuselage in black. Green grass and a wooden fence stretch across the foreground, with more grass and a tall concrete wall stretching across the background. Tall lighting poles reach into the grey sky, looming over the rest of the scene.
Close-up of the rear fuselage and upturned wingtips of a white jet airliner taxiing from left to right. A red stripe edged in yellow stretches along the body, getting wider as it moves to the rear, with the registration "B-304K" in black on the upper fear fuselage. The wingtips are red, with yellow swirls, and a yellow stripe at the bottom. Grey concrete apron with a white and black stripe running through the middle fills the rest of the frame.
Side view of a cream-coloured, twin propellor-engined light aircraft parked on grass facing to the left. There is a thick, brick-red stripe running along the planes body, overlaid by the white registration "G-BOZP" on the rear fuselage. Grass fills the foreground, and runs off to trees in the background, under bright but hazy skies.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude. Flaps are extended from behind the wings, and the undercarriage is lowered, suggesting it is about to land. There is a red and black stripe running from the nose to the tail, and black "Manx" titles on the upper forward fuselage. There is a red and black logo resembling a square with the top right corner being a triangle pointing off to the north-east. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

The plane has a blue belly, with a yellow stripe running along the body, with a similar livery on the underwing engine pod. The front fuselage is emblazoned with blue "RyanAir" titles, partially obscured by the left wing. The wing has black registration "EI-DLI" on the lower surface, while the blue upturned wingtips have yellow "RyanAir" titles. Cloudy grey skies fill the rest of the frame.
Side view of a small, white helicopter on display on a raised platform, facing to the right. There is a blue stripe running along the body and along the tail boom, with the registration G-DAAM" overlaid on the boom. The rotor mast is white, with the blue outline of a letter "S" in the middle, and "Sloane Helicopters" and a telephone number underneath. In the foreground, a man wearing sunglasses and a sandy brown jacket is leaning on the platform the plane is sitting on, talking to someone in a green jacket and blue cap. In the background, green grass leads up to trees in the distance, with an array of planes parked in the middle distance. Bright but hazy grey-blue skies fill the rest of the frame.

Winglet Wednesday 9th October 2024.

The different styles of winglets used on RyanAir's Boeing 737-8AS's are shown to good effect - on the right, the inner, white face of the standard winglet contrasts with the newer "Scimitar" winglet of later models, with both up- and down-turned lobes.

Closeup of the up-turned wingtips of 2 planes parked next to each other. The one on the right is the white inner face of a winglet, with blue "RyanAir" titles, which sits almost vertically on the end of the wing, while the one on the left is in 2 parts, a blue upper part with yellow "RyanAir" titles, and a yellow lower part, both parts canted out slightly. Grey concrete apron fills the space between and behind them.

Side view of a sleek, white, twin engined bizjet parked facing to the right. The plane has a grey belly, and thin blue stripes running along the body. A couple of people are visible sitting in the planes cockpit, looking as if they are talking to each other. Bright sunlight coming from low on the right of the frame is casting long shadows to the left. In the background, blue sky gives way to thick, grey clouds.

Side view of an inverted, very long and thin, single propellor-engined military aircraft flying from left to right at a low altitude. The forward fuselage and the wings are covered in diagonal black and yellow stripes, with a red circle containing a white cross on the outer wing panels. The rear fuselage and twin tails are painted silver, with the serial "C-493" on the rear fuselage, and another red circle containing a white cross on the tails. The plane is trailing smoke from it's centre fuselage. Grey skies fill the rest of the frame.
Side view of a white, high-winged, twin engined jet airliner with a blue belly, flying from left to right at a very low altitude with undercarriage lowered, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off. There is a blue stripe running along the body, as well as a blue patch covering the nose, and blue engine pods under the wings. There is also a red ellipse on the rear fuselage. The registration "OY-JJG" is at the base of the tail in black. In the background, trees fill the bottom half of the frame, with a tall yellow crane looming out of the distance. Slightly overcast blue skies fill the rest of the frame.
