Side view of a blue, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. The plane has a grey belly, with a thin white stripe running along the body. There are white "British Midland" titles on the upper forward fuselage, next to red letters "BM", with a white diamond in the angle of the "M". A larger version of those red letters is on the blue tail. Large areas of green grass separated by grey taxiways fill most of the background, with red fire engines lined up in front of a red and white building with a brown tower with a glazed top. A large green metal frame looms over everything.Side view of a white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude, the main wheels less than a metre above the runway.
