  • A seascape of calm waters of the Thames Estuary and a Happy Birthday message to a five year-old called May has been chalked on a coastal groyne, on 18th July 2020, in Whitstable, Kent, England.

  • A partner struggles to lift a lady on a shingle beach up over a coastal groyne in Porlock, Somerset, UK. Giving the lady a much-needed leg-up from the lower level of shingle to the one above, the man bends to haul her up making a funny moment in this coastal landscape. Porlock is a coastal village and civil parish in Somerset, England, situated in a deep hollow below Exmoor, 5 miles (8 km) west of Minehead. The parish, which includes Hawkcombe and Doverhay, has a population of 1,440. The coastline includes shingle ridges, salt marshes and a submerged forest. In 1052 the Saxon king, Harold, landed at Porlock Bay from Ireland, and burnt the town before marching on London

  • During the annual Southend Air show on the Thames river estuary, two jets called the Synchro Pair of the 'Red Arrows', Britain's Royal Air Force aerobatic team, perform their most dynamic manoeuvres, a high-speed  crossover called the ‘Cubans to Opposition Barrel Roll’ 100 feet (30m) off the ground at a combined closing speed of 700 knots airspeed. Spectators gather on a coastal groyne for a better view on the low-tide mud. The Red Arrows Hawks perform throughout their calendar of appearances at air shows and fly-pasts across the UK and a few European venues. Since 1965 the squadron have flown over 4,000 shows in 52 countries and are an important part of Britain's summer events where aerobatics aircraft perform their manoeuvres in front of massed crowds.

  • A lone Tornado jet fighter arcs across a typically overcast sky at Southend-on-Sea on a Bank Holiday Sunday. Well-defined figures of children and adults either play nonchalantly on the beach at low tide, or watch in awe as the aircraft thunders over the Thames Estuary mud. A few stranded yachts stand upright in the low water and a groyne stretches out to sea towards the Kent coast, seen in the distance. It is a bleak and depressingly empty scene and the jet is merely a dot in the grey English sky, traditionally familiar summer weather. 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.
