What type of aircraft? The focal length of the lens that you need will be very different if you're taking photos of Cessnas rather than Boeing 747s!
Are the planes static or will they be flying by?
If static or v slow moving then a reasonable superzoom (something like a fuji prosumer - think s9600) would be ok.
For moving objects then I'd persoanlly search out a DSLR. In your budget you'd be looking at a second hand lower spec model with a longish kit lens as julianhj stated above.

A pocket super-zoom (PowerShot SX260 HS/Panasonic's TZ30) or save another £50 and buy a canon sx40?
Haven't looked into them much recently but its a fair bet the canon and Panasonic are amongst the top end. You will also probably be able to add Nikon offering as well.
