The Britannia four engined turboprop has big nacelles with ring shaped intakes, four wheels on the main gears, a pointed nose with many cockpit windows and oval cabin windows.
The main gear doors with a cutout for the wheels is one of the key features of the Bolingbroke. Also the glass nose that is higher on the right than on the left side - to give the pilot a better view - is a good recognition point. For the rest it looks like the Bristol Blenheim.
The Jetstream has a relatively wide, short fuselage, with a circular cross section, large oval cabin windows, seven flat cockpit windows and a pointed nose. The main gear has single wheels and retracts inward in the wings, while the nose gear has two wheels.
The British Aerospace 146 is a four engined medium size jet airliner, of which most versions are passenger aircraft with cabin windows. That latter makes it stand out compared to similar sized transport aircraft. The BAe146 also have a two wheel main landing gear retracting sideways, and a speed brake in the tail cone.
The ATP is essentially a modernised, stretched version of the Hawker-Siddeley 748. It is fitted with modern turboprop engines, driving six-blade propellers. The cabin windows are small and the tail fin is swept.
This was the development aircraft for the Eurofighter Typhoon. It is a bit smaller, has double delta wings, a less tall tail with curved dorsal fin and non-tilted air intakes. (photo: Hugh Llewelyn/WikiMedia)
Typical for the Hawk are the small, long D-shaped air intakes in front of the wing roots and the curved leading edge of the vertical stabiliser. Additionally it has horizontal stabilisers with significant anhedral.
The Jetstream 41 is the stretched version of the Jetstream 31, so the two aircraft have a large similarity. Apart from the length, the main differences are in the main landing gear, engine nacelles and ventral fin.
In general the Britten-Norman Islander can be easily recognised as it is a high-wing aircraft with engines underneath the wings and a fixed landing gear. The main gear is attached to the wings at the engine nacelles, meaning long struts.
The Trislander is the three engined version of the BN-2 Islander. The third engine is located in the tail, making it easy to recognise. For the rest is looks like a larger Islander, including the long main landing gear legs attached to the wings.
