Head-on view of a white, boxy, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner parked facing the camera.
Sponsons sticking out from the bottom of the fuselage contain the main wheels, and are connected to the undersides of the wings by long thin struts.
Spinning propellors on the engines are blurred, not quite becoming smears.
In the background, a varied array of light aircraft are parked facing in different directions, with a couple of brown and grey buildings at the back, under grey skies.

Close-up of the wing of a rather boxy, white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner parked facing to the right.
There is a light and dark green stripe running along the body, under the almost-square passenger cabin windows.
The long, thin wings are supported by a white strut attached to a white pod attached to the bottom of the fuselage.
Grey concrete apron fills the background.

Side view of a boxey, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner flying from left to right.
The plane is flying at a low altitude with the undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is just about to land.
The plane has a grey fuselage with a dark blue belly, and a red stripe running along the blue part of the body.
There are black "British Airways Express" titles on the upper forward fuselage, the last word being in a thinner, italic font.
The registration "G-WACK" is on the upper rear fuselage, under the tail, also in black.
The top of the tail is dark blue, the rest grey, with a dark blue and red triangle in the middle rear.
Cloudy grey skies with streaks of pale blue peeking through fill the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, boxy, high-winged, twin propellor airliner moving from left to right at an airport.
The plane has a light and dark green stripe running along the bottom of the body and green "Manx" titles under the cockpit, with the registration "G-LEGS" on the upper rear fuselage in black.
The tail is green, with a thick red stripe across the middle, with a set of 3 white legs that appear to be joined at the hip and running in a circle in the centre.
Grey/brown concrete apron fills most of the frame, with 3 other airliners, one white with a yellow and red stripe, the others grey and dark blue, in the background.
A long black hangar stretches across most of the frame from the left in the distance, under bright but hazy skies.

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.

Side view of a red, single-engined light aircraft parked facing to the right. The plane has white wings and a white belly, with the registration "G-BPRA" on the rear fuselage, also in white. A yellow and brown biplane can be seen in the background on the right, with large green hangars further back. Grey skies fill the rest of the frame.

Rear side view of a grey, high-winged, twin propellor-engined, very boxy airliner flying from right to left at a low altitude, almost directly overhead, with the undercarriage already retracted and flaps still deployed from the rear of the wings, suggesting it has just taken off.
The plane has a dark blue belly, with a red stripe running along the body, and black "British Airways" titles on the upper forward fuselage.
The registration "G-BMAR" is displayed prominently on the upper rear fuselage in black, as well as under the left wing.
The tail has a dark blue upper half, with diagonal red and dark blue stripes on a grey background on the lower half.
