G-JATP, British Aerospace Advanced Turbo Prop (ATP) in British Aerospace's in-house livery, operating a display flight at Woodford Air Show, 26th June 1993.
The number 227 on the lower forward fuselage was it's show number at the Paris Air Show the week before.

Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined flying from left to right at a low altitude, it's wings banked to the left, with flaps lowered slightly behind the wings, and it's undercarriage stowed away.
A bright light is shining forwards about halfway along each wing.
The fuselage is mostly white, with a thin blue, red, and orange stripe running along the body from the nose, gradually getting wider as it moves rearwards, until the blue sweeps up to fill the tail.
The number "227" is on the lower forward fuselage in large black print, with the much smaller registration "G-JATP" on the lower rear fuselage.
Grey cloudy sky fills the rest of the frame.

Side view of a white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined military transport parked facing to the right.
There is a red and blue stripe running from under the nose to the tip of the rear fuselage, getting wider as it goes towards the rear.
The tail is blue at the front and black at the rear, with a white, winged horse standing on it's rear legs in the middle.
There are "Royal Netherlands Air Force" titles on the forward fuselage, just below "F27 Display 15" titles behind the cockpit windows.
The serial "C-8" is at the bottom of the tail in white, with black "334 Sqn" titles on a white fillet at the front of the tail.
Green grass fills the foreground, with more green grass in the background leading up to trees in the distance, under flat grey skies.

Side view of a white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined, 3-tailed, airliner taxiing from left to right along a black runway.
The plane has fixed undercarriage, suspended from the rear of the wing-mounted engine pods, and connected to the fuselage by stub wings coming from the bottom of the body.
The plane's belly is a light grey, with a green stripe running along the side of the body.
The 3 tail-fins are green, with the outer faces of the outer fins having a wide white band outlined in black, with a black line drawing of a stooping eagle over the word "Atlantic" in black.
Green grass either side of the runway fills the bottom of the frame, with trees in the distance, with tree-covered rolling hills under grey skies beyond that.

Low side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude.
The undercarriage is retracted, and large flaps are deployed from the rear of the wings.
The plane's cockpit is obviously in a different place than normal, being lower than the main fuselage, while the bulbous, extremely wide and tall upper fuselage bulges out significantly wider than the main part of the body at the bottom.
Three words adorn the swollen fuselage - "The Super Transporter", in yellow, red, and blue, respectively.
A diagonal blue band with a red and orange stripe on the rear edge covers the tail and rear fuselage, with the word "Airbus" overlaid in white.
There is a large, blue, number "3"3 facing forwards on the over-sized upper fuselage, above the cockpit.
Grey cloudy sky fills the rest of the frame in the background.

VP-FBL, De Haviland Canada DHC-6-300 Twin Otter, British Antarctic Survey, on static display at the annual Woodford Air Show, 22nd June 1996.
This would have been really exotic if it hadn't also been there the year before!
