F-GSTD, Airbus A300B4-608ST Super Airbus Transporter, Airbus Transport International, on static display at Farnborough Air Show, 12th September 1998.
Walking into the show, this was the first thing you saw, and if you weren't already excited, then this just ramped everything up.

Side view of a very large, twin engined jet freighter with an over-sized cargo hold on top of an already pretty big body, with the front of the fuselage hinged upwards, giving access to the cargo area.
The plane is mostly white, with very large titles "The Super Transporter" on the side of the upper fuselage, each word in yellow, red, and blue, respectively.
The black registration "F-GTSD" is on the lower rear fuselage.
The rear fuselage and tail have a thick, diagonal blue band with smaller red, orange, and yellow bands towards the rear, with the white word "Airbus" overlaid on the blue stripe.
That same logo, minus the text, is repeated on the wingtip fences on the ends of the wings.
There are large end plates on the horizontal stabiliser, with the number "4" on both the inner and outer faces.
There is a large, white fillet extending the tail to meet the massively extended upper fuselage, that fuselage extension eating up a large chunk of the normal tail.
There is a white set of mobile airstairs parked leading up to the open freight deck, with people climbing the stairs, and others admiring the view from the open deck.
Cars are parked on grass in the foreground, with people wandering around, and more people in the background, in front of a large white building which stretches across the whole frame.
Fluffy grey clouds with hints of blue peeking through fills the rest of the frame.

G-BRNM, Chichester-Miles Leopard, on static display at Farnborough Air Show, 7th September 1996.
This was an attempt to create a market for a very light, 4 seat BizJet with very small, fuel-efficient engines.
It didn't go too well…
Or at all!

Head-on view of a small, twin engined, 4 seat BizJet, parked on black tarmac at an air show.
The plane is rather angular, with a pair of small jet engines attached to the sides of the rear fuselage.
The cockpit  has large windows, with a pair of pretty comfortable-looking seats visible through the front windows.
A man with a black cap and a woman with reddish brown hair are sitting at a collapsable table behind the plane.
People are walking past fencing in the distance, with large temporary buildings rising up the side of a hill in the distance.

Rear view of a twin engined military jet fighter accelerating from right to left along a runway, with small flaps extended at the rear of the wings, between the fuselage and engines..
The plane is covered in a grey and brown camouflage scheme, with pale blue belly, as well as the under-sides of the wings and engine pods.
The wings appear to run through the sides of the engine pods, about a quarter of the way long the wings.
There is a blue, white, and red roundel on the rear fuselage, with the black serial "WM167" further back under the tail.
There is a red, white, and blue fin flash on top of the tail.
A grey runway stretches across the bottom of the frame, with grass on the far side leading up to trees in the distance, under grey sky.
