Side view of a light blue, twin propellor-engined World War 2-era passenger airliner parked facing to the right.
There is a darker blue band running around the forward fuselage, just aft of the cockpit, and another around the rear fuselage, just in front of the tail, as well as around the engine cowlings.
There are large black "Star Airways Inc" titles outline in gold on the upper fuselage, and a gold "Star" logo on the tail. 
The registration "N3455" is on the rear fuselage in black, and the name "Ian Drury" in a dark blue cursive script on the nose.
A grass bank behind the plane on the left slowly comes down to meet the ground on the right of the frame, with trees marking the airfield perimeter.
Hazy grey sky fills the rest of the frame.
