Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended behind the wings, suggesting it is about to land. There is a dark blue stripe running along the body, and black "TransLift" titles on the upper fuselage, the first few letters partially obscured by the wing. The registration "EI-CJK" is on the upper rear fuselage in black. On the engine pods, slung under the wings, there is a black circle with a fancy, white, lower-case letter "T" in the middle. Pale blue sky with fluffs of white cloud fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. There are gold "Emirates" titles on the upper forward fuselage, in Arabic at the front, and in English a bit further back. The glyphs used in the Arabic title text are combined into an artistic image in gold on the white engine pods. The tail and rear fuselage has the flag of the United Arab Emirates (equal green, white, and black horizontal bars, with a red vertical bar at the end) emblazoned across it. The registration "A6-EKF" is on the lower rear fuselage in black. The foreground is filled with the grey roof of a building, out of focus as it is much nearer than the plane. In the background, a collection of brown service buildings and black hangars are nestled amongst trees, under bright but hazy skies.
Close-up of the blue tail of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane has a creamy-grey belly, with a thin gold line running along the body. The tail has a gold and white wire-frame globe in one corner. The planes left wing stretches across the frame in the foreground, with the left engine pod in the bottom left corner. A heavily glazed red brick building is hiding behind some yellow metal frames in the background, with black hangars beyond that, under cloudy grey skies.
Close-up of the green tail and white rear fuselage of a very large jet airliner taxiing from right to left. There are 2 thick white stripes running across the tail, and a green stripe running along the body. The registration "B-HUA" is on the rear fuselage in white. A grey metal fence and a black chainlink fence separate us from the plane in the foreground, with a grassed area leading off to trees visible in the background under the tail. Cloudy grey skies fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane has a thick green and thin red stripe running along the body, with black "Air Atlantis" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and a green and red capital letter "A" on the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with more grass and a runway leading up to a pair of black hangars with small planes parked in front in the distance, with trees and grey skies beyond that.

Side view of a silver-coloured, single engined biplane military aircraft with the wings removed, on display in a large, white building with metal beams holding up the roof. The top of the body is painted black, with a blue, white, and red roundel in the middle of the fuselage, under the rear cockpit. The serial "k6035" is on the lower rear fuselage, repeated on the tail. More exhibits can be seen in the background in the same hall.

Side view of a blue, twin engined jet airliner with a white belly and tail, facing to the right but being pushed backwards to the left by an off-screen truck attached to the nosewheel by a long, thin blue pole. There are white "KLM" titles under a white crown on the upper forward fuselage, a design replicated in blue in a larger form on the white tail. A black chain-link fence stretches across the foreground, while a black and sandy brown terminal building fills the background, under bright but hazy skies.
Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner being towed from left to right by a nearly out-of-frame blue tug attached to the nose-wheel by a long orange pole. The plane has a blue rear fuselage and tail, with a red triangle at the top of the tail, and blue and red "Air Inter" on the upper forward fuselage. The background has tall lighting towers scattered around the concrete apron, slowly vanishing into mist in the distance.
Side view of a white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane has a yellow stripe outlined in black running along the body, large black "VLM" titles on the upper forward fuselage, the black registration "OO-VLN" on the upper rear fuselage, and a black lion standing on it's rear legs on the tail. The airfield is elevated several feet over a body of water, seen here at the bottom of the frame. Trees and buildings are visible in the background under hazy blue skies with lumps of fluffy cloud.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane has golden "Emirates" titles on the upper forward fuselage in English and an Arabic script. The same Arabic script is used as a decorative logo on the engine cowling. The rear fuselage and tail is covered in green, white, and black stripes with a vertical red bar, which you eventually realise is the flag of the United Arab Emirates. A large area of green grass, criss-crossed by grey taxiways, fills the foreground, with a large, green, metal open box-like structure stretches across most of the background, under typical grey Mancunian skies.
Side view of a cream-coloured, 3 engined jet airliner with the engines mounted on the rear fuselage, taxiing from left to right. There is a red and green cheatline running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, and red "Royal Air Maroc" titles on the upper forward fuselage. Their tail has a green, five pointed star leaving a nearly circular red trail, and red "RAM" titles, with the registration "CN-RMR" on the centre engine air intake. Grey tarmac fills the foreground, with a circular terminal building in the background on the right. In the distance, a large group of BizJets are parked between a couple of buildings, with trees beyond that, under grey skies.
Closeup of the yellow rear fuselage and tail boom and blue tail of a helicopter parked facing to the right. The tail fan is built in to the tail, an open hole with a blue hub in the middle. The top of the tail has a white cross with swooshes suggesting a rotating rotor. The black registration "G-NWAA" is on the tail boom, under a smaller, grey "NWAirAmbulance.org.uk" web address. Green grass fills the background below the tail boom, while trees are visible in the distance above it, and a brown brick building is on the left, under grey skies.
