Side view of a cream and blue, long and thin single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the left.
A glazed, low windshield is the only concession to protection for the open cockpit and any pilot that may fly this.
The plane has dark blue upper surfaces and a cream body, with a white tail with a blue stripe containing a white circle with the letters "VP" in the middle in blue.
The registration "G-BAAD" are on the side of the rear fuselage, also in blue.
A pair of other single-engined light aircraft, both with military markings, are parked behind this one.
Grey metal fencing surrounds these planes, with crowds of people on the other sides, as well as a couple of vehicles.
A large green and brown hangar stretches across the frame from the left, under grim grey sky.

Side view of a white and red, single engined light aircraft parked facing to the right.
The top half of the body is white, the lower half is red, and the horizontal tail-plane and ends of the wings are also red.
There is a red, white, and blue roundel just aft of the over-sized, bulbous cockpit canopy, and a blue, whit, and red fin flash on the white tail.
The serial "XX620" is on the rear fuselage in black, partially obscured by the tail-plane.
A larger, white, World War 2-era airliner is parked in the background, with a green stripe running along the body, and the registration "G-AMPZ" in green on the rear fuselage.

Side view of a white, high-winged, 4 propellor-engined military cargo plane parked on grass facing to the right. The plane has a blue cheatline running along the fuselage, with black "Royal Air Force Air Support Command" on the forward fuselage, and larger "Enceladus" titles under the cockpit. Pretty much the whole fuselage seems to be covered in all sorts of dirt and grime. Grey sky fills most of the rest of the frame.

The different styles of winglets used on RyanAir’s Boeing 737-8AS’s are shown to good effect – on the right, the inner, white face of the standard winglet contrasts with the newer “Scimitar” winglet of later models, with both up- and down-turned lobes.

Side view of a sleek, white, twin engined bizjet parked facing to the right. The plane has a grey belly, and thin blue stripes running along the body. A couple of people are visible sitting in the planes cockpit, looking as if they are talking to each other. Bright sunlight coming from low on the right of the frame is casting long shadows to the left. In the background, blue sky gives way to thick, grey clouds.

Closeup of the up-turned wingtips of 2 planes parked next to each other. The one on the right is the white inner face of a winglet, with blue "RyanAir" titles, which sits almost vertically on the end of the wing, while the one on the left is in 2 parts, a blue upper part with yellow "RyanAir" titles, and a yellow lower part, both parts canted out slightly. Grey concrete apron fills the space between and behind them.

A bit of a twitch on a Yorkshire border.
