Side view of a twin propellor-engined, World War 2-era bomber aircraft taxiing along a runway from left to right.
The plane is covered in an olive-green and grey camouflage scheme, with thick black and white bands around the lower rear fuselage.
There are very pale letters "HT-E" either side of a blue, white, and red roundel outlined in yellow.
There is a blue, white, and red fin flash on the lower part of the tail, above the black serial "RR299" on the upper rear fuselage.
Lush green grass fills the foreground, with more grass leading up to a house and a fire truck in the distance, with trees beyond, under hazy grey skies.

Side view of a black, single engined military jet fighter taxiing from left to right along a grey runway.
The plane is basically a large black engine pod with a white belly, with twin black tail booms stretching backwards from the wing root, carrying the small twin tails.
The cockpit canopy at the front of the plane is open, slid back along the top of the fuselage, with the bright red helmet of the pilot clearly visible in the gap.
The tail booms has white "Rioyal Navy" titles, just aft of a blue, white, and red roundel.
The registration "G-GONE" is on the end of the boom in white, under the tail.
Green grass fills the foreground, with a large grey building dominating the frame on the right, and trees on the left in the background, under bright but hazy skies.

Side view of the bare wooden fuselage of a small, pre-World War 2-era airliner, standing on metal supports, facing to the right, looking more like a boat than an aeroplane.
Most of the exterior is yellow, with the upper sections being an orangey-red, and the interiors being painted a flat grey.
Mounting points for the bi-plane wings can be seen at the top and bottom of the fuselage.
There is a gaping hole where the front of the cockpit should be, allowing a view of wires and pulleys for the controls, as well as internal bracing struts.
The large, ovoid doorway from the cockpit to the passenger cabin is in the middle of the frame, with a good view of the rounded, truncated triangular windows of the cabin, visible on both sides of the plane, the cabin interior being very dark.
In the background, the dark wooden balustrade of an elevated walkway runs around the interior of the museum building, stretching all the way across the frame.
Ornate metal beams hold up the roof, most of which is brown wooden slats, but a large chunk of the roof in the top right corner is heavily glazed, allowing lots of natural light in.

The pilot is visible in the cockpit, with passengers sitting in the cabin, visible through the triangular windows.

Side view of a brown, single-engined biplane flying from left to right at a very low altitude.
The plane has a pair of open cockpits in the top of the fuselage, both of which appear to be empty, at least at first glance, there is a hint of someone sitting in the rear cockpit.
The registration "G-AHAN" is on the rear fuselage in white, while the tail is covered in a brown and white checkerboard pattern.
Green grass fills the bottom of the frame, with trees in the background, under grey skies.

There is a red and black stripe running along the lower fuselage and around the lower part of the nose.
The leading edges of the wings, tail, and horizontal stabiliser are black.
The runway stretches off into the background, surrounded by grass, with rows of trees in the distance, under orange skies.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. There are a series of green stripes running along the body, which come together to form the outline of a capital letter "T" just behind and below the cockpit. There are green "TransAvia" titles running diagonally down the tail, the initial letter "T" outlined in black. Grey concrete apron fills the foreground, with more apron bordered by grass in the background. Trees in the distance mark the airport perimeter.

Side view of a dark blue, single jet engined military fighter aircraft taxiing from left to right along a runway. The plane has a white belly, and a blue, white, and red roundel on the tail boom extending from the rear of the wings, just in front of white "Royal Navy" titles. The bubble canopy over the cockpit is open, with the pilots red helmet showing clearly. Green grass fills the foreground, while more grass in the background leads up to a large grey building that fills the right of the frame, with trees and grey sky on the left.

Side view of a white, twin engined light aircraft with twin tails flying from left to right. There is a thin red stripe running along the body, and black registration "G-AKKB" on the rear fuselage, partially obscured by the flaps hanging from the rear of the wing. There are red "Total" titles under the right wing, as well as on the tail. Hazy grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from right to left at a low altitude, with the landing gear doors closing, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised significantly, suggesting it has just taken off. There are blue "Aer Lingus" titles on the upper forward fuselage, partially obscured by the blue engine pods attached to the front of the wings. The rear fuselage and tail is a dark green/blue, with a bright green diagonal stripe at the front, and a bright green shamrock on the tail. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.
