Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 - Single-seat Jet Interceptor Fighter (UEB uncontracted)
by RnibThis is an image of a jet fighter aircraft seen from above. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The image is in the centre and a scale in metres on the left of the page. The aircraft nose is in the top centre and the tail in the bottom centre of the page. The fuselage goes up and down the middle of the page. The nose of the aircraft is the intake of the jet engine. The cockpit cover is shown as four windows near the nose. To the right of the cockpit is a small aerial. The wings sweep down to the left and right. Along the front edge of the right wing is another aerial. The wings each have one aileron on the rear edge and two ridges in the middle of the wing. At the bottom of the page in the centre of the fuselage is the vertical tail. To each side of this is the tailplane. The nose, tailplane and back third of the fuselage are red. The rest of the plane is grey. The textures on the tactile image reflect structure not colour. There is a different texture for the cockpit, wings and fuselage.

Moon Buggy - Lunar Rover (large print)
by RnibThis is an image of the Lunar rover: the electric vehicle used by American astronauts to explore the moon in the 1960s and 70s. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The buggy is seen from the side and facing left so only two of the four wheels can be seen. Some of the on-board equipment has been shown. The buggy is set against the darkness of space. At the far left of the page is a television camera and slightly down from this is a lunar communication relay unit. To the right of this, stretching up the page is a high-gain antenna. Right again is a low-gain antenna and a 16 mm camera and power pack. A small distance down the page is the control column for the astronaut to steer the vehicle and to the right a seat seen from the side. Right again is an aft chassis pallet, which houses experiments, and a hand tool carrier. At the bottom of the page are the two visible wheels on the ground.

There is a scale in the bottom right of the image and a north arrow in the top left of the image. The city fills the centre of the image. The city centre is in the middle of the image and marked with a symbol. There are three shanty settlements to the left and bottom of the centre and two to the top and right. They are all on the edge of the city. A river comes from top left of the image and goes down and right to the right centre of the image. A second river comes from the left and goes across the image to the right centre of the image. Both rivers have a slightly wiggly course and areas liable to flood after heavy rain.

'Nelson and Napoleon Exhibition' Model of the HMS Victory (tactile)
by RnibThis is a side view of a 1:48 scale model of HMS Victory without the masts. The image has been labelled to help understand its orientation and to identify parts of the ship. On the image, 3 distinct textures have been used - solid raised texture, a rough texture and a very rough texture. In the descriptions, the words 'solid', 'rough' and 'very rough' have been used. The hull is painted white (very rough) with each of the 3 gun decks painted in black (solid) and yellow (rough) horizontal stripes. On the yellow stripes can be seen the portholes for the guns - the top gun deck's portholes are shown open (hollows) and the middle and lower gun decks' portholes are shown closed (small solid squares).

Ocean-going Liner (Queen Mary II), 2004 AD (large print)
by RnibThis image shows a very large, modern cruise liner. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. Its long, deep hull fills the lower part of the page, with the stern at the left and bow at the right. Below the water level at the left of the ship is the rudder, and slightly to the right, the screw propeller which drives the ship through the water. Above the water level, and stretching almost the length of the ship, each deck is shown by a line of balconies or row of square windows. Between two of the lines of balconies, 12 lifeboats hang from the side of the ship. The large single funnel towers above all the decks in the top centre of the image. To the right of this is the radio mast on the top and front of the ship. The Captain's bridge, from where the ship is controlled, is down from this. There is a large protrusion, which stabilizes the ship, on the bow below the water level at the far right of the picture.

Paddle Steamer, 1822 AD (large print)
by RnibIn this image of a paddle steamer the stern is in the bottom left corner of the page and the bow to the right of the page. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. Just up from the stern there is a flag flying which is stretched out straight to the left. To the right of this is a cabin with two portholes. Down from the cabin is the hull which is long and low and goes right across the page. It has five portholes on the stern half just above the waterline. The paddle wheel with its curved cover is in the middle and two more portholes at the bow end to the right. Up and to the right from here is the bowsprit which sticks out almost horizontally. Ropes lead from the bowsprit up and left to the main mast. This carries a furled mainsail. Left of this is a tall funnel and left again is the mizzen mast with a small furled mizzen sail. There is no rudder as the large paddle wheels could rotate in either direction and at different speeds, allowing the steamer to go forwards, backwards and to turn.

Painting of Cutty Sark by Frederick Tudgay, 1872 (tactile)
by RnibThe ship's portrait was painted for Cutty Sark's owner John Willis and shows a side view of Cutty Sark in full sail with her bow on the right and stern on the left. Cutty Sark is painted against a grey and white cloudy sky sailing across a deep sea-green sea with white waves breaking along the ship's hull and over the sea's surface. Just in front of her but far away in the distance is the rather ghostly grey shape of another sailing ship in full sail but going in the opposite direction to Cutty Sark. The black hull of the ship is a stark contrast to the creamy white of the sails, the three white masts and the white figurehead at the bow. At the top of the main mast is the Willis house flag - a blue flag with a red cross on a white square background set diagonally on the blue. At the stern, above the spanker sail (the last sail) is the red ensign, a large red flag with the union jack in the top right corner. All the rigging is carefully painted along with the main deck structures including the ship's steering wheel. The scene is completed by small figures of people standing on the main deck.
Pirate Ship (large print)
by RnibThis is a picture of pirate sailing ship seen from the side and facing to the right. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up. The ship has three masts and three sails. At the centre left of the page is a small mast with a triangular sail attached to it and a crow's nest at its top. This is a sort of basket for a crew member to keep watch from. Down the page is the sterncastle. At the top centre of the page, you will find the top of the main mast with another crow's nest. Down the page is a square sail with an image of a skull and crossbones facing you. In the top right of the page is a skull and crossbones flag flying from the top of the foremast. Down the page is another crow's nest and a square sail with the forecastle down from this. The hull of the boat sits in the water that stretches across the bottom the page. It is made from wooden planks that run horizontally. The ship's rudder is at the left of the hull.
