Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor engined military flying boat taxiing, on wheels, from right to left along a black runway.
The plane is almost entirely white, with only a large, black letter "P" just aft of the large, heavily glazed blisters on the rear fuselage, with a blue white, and red roundel outlined in yellow a bit further to the rear.
The black number "9754" is visible on the bottom of the tail, and there is a red, white, and blue fin flash at the top of the tail, just visible over the wing.
The large, parasol-style wing is suspended above the fuselage on a single, rather hefty looking pylon, supported by a pair of struts on each side, with the engines mounted just wide enough apart for the 3-bladed black propellors to rotate just aft of the cockpit.
The undercarriage retracts into the fuselage, the nose-wheel into doors in the base of the boat hull, the main wheels retracting into a gap in the side of the fuselage between the wing supports.
Lush green grass lines the sides of the runway, extending out to fields in the distance.
A random collection of light aircraft, World War 2-era military jet fighters, cars, vans, and caravans can be seen in the distance under the planes rear fuselage.
Hazy grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined light aircraft flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered, and flaps extended from under the wings, suggesting it is about to land.
There is a dark and lighter blue stripe running along the body before sweeping up to fill the tail, overlaid with the black registration "G-ELBC" on the rear fuselage.
The roof of a grey hangar stretches across the bottom of the frame, with flat grey sky fills the rest of the background.

Side view of a blue, single propellor-engined, World War 2-era fighter aircraft moving along a runway from left to right, fast enough for it's tail-wheel to be off the ground, but slow enough that it's main wheels are still on the runway. There is a dark and light blue roundel on the rear fuselage, with a corresponding fin flash on the tail, and the serial "PM631" on the rear fuselage in a cream colour, next to a larger, cream coloured letter "S".
