  • The outline of a generic airliner passes overhead as it takes-off at London Heathrow airport. With the strong shape of its aerodynamic surfaces, its wings and lowered flaps to gain maximum lift at this sea level atmosphere. The jet's undercarriage wheels are still lowered and the circular jet engines are clearly defined by strong sunlight. The airline operator is anonymous as is the manufacturer of the aircraft as it contunues its journey under blue skies to a faraway destination.

  • In mid-flight between Hamburg in Germany and London Heathrow, we see a passenger’s view of a climbing airliner's port wing and the hazy German landscape below at a high altitude. The sky above reflects its soft blue hue on the upper surface of the left wing but the air below is a soft pink, a rural patchwork of fields and villages. As an example of aerodynamic design, the flying machine is a perfect gesture towards the conquest of flight, copied from the characteristics of a bird’s anatomy. As art, the mere beauty of taking to the air and maintaining level, organised speed is so routine, we rarely look our from our window to marvel at how and why. Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first 12 seconds/120 feet powered flight at Kitty Hawk,1903.

  • A detail of an ornate Victorian brass letter box plate. Seen in close-up, the single and plural word 'Letters' is printed in upper-case capitals on the flap that one must lift to insert postal mail from the outside of this heavy, glossy black doors in the seaside town of Lowestoft in Suffolk, England. The brass plate sits in its fitted slot and has been carefully polished these last decades to ensure it still looks as handsome as it might have some time in the Victorian era when brass door knockers and other elaborate fittings were fixed to houses, showing true quality craftsmanship - a factor largely ignored in the mass-produced products of today.

  • Junior Technician Brian Robb, an engineer with the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team, shines his torch inside the flaps of a Hawk jet aircraft checking for obstructions, RAF Scampton, Lincolnshire. Wearing ear defenders clasped to his head, J/Tech Robb peers into the wing assembly during a pre-flight inspection before the pilot emerges from for another winter training flight. Robb is a member of the team's support ground crew who outnumber the pilots 8:1 and without them, the Red Arrows couldn't fly.  Eleven trades are imported from some sixty that the RAF employs and teaches. Crouching by an RAF roundel emblem, he wears an army style green camouflage coat as protection over the biting Lincolnshire wind, and a fluorescent tabard required for any personnel working on the 'line', where the aircraft taxi to and park.

  • A young boy sits on the lawn after falling from his tricycle on a summer's day in the family garden in the early nineteen sixties. Sitting on his knees on the soft summer grass the young lad looks brave rather than tearful. There is the family tent erected across from the path, its open flaps perhaps drying out after rain or simply as a play den for the boy. The picture was recorded on Kodachrome (Kodak) film in about 1964.

  • As evening light fades, campers who are relaxing in the awning of their caravan are having a sociable time with friends. Their table has drinks and an outdoor campers' light and we see through the open flap of their awning at a caravan site at Looe in Devon, England. Other vehicles can be seen in the distance, all lined up against the hedged-border of this field, run by the prestigious Caravan Club of Great Britain whose membership stands around 1 million members. Formed in 1907 the club boasts over 900 staff and an annual turnover of around £100 million. Rules about pitching vans and how to behave with waste, children and noise are strictly controlled and often, sites specialise more for families with kids or for older people wanting more peace.

  • Londoners cross southbound over London Bridge during the evening rush hour. Alongside a bus, a young man strides along with a with red tie flapping in the breeze to his ear, followed by others walking out of the City of London. There has been a crossing over the Thames here since the Romans first forded the river in the early 1st Century with subsequent medieval and Victorian stone bridges becoming an important thoroughfare from the City on the north bank, to Southwark on the south where transport hubs such as the mainline station gets commuters to the suburbs and satellite towns.
