  • Harrier and Jaguar, a grand scale art installation by artist Fiona Banner in the main space Duveen Galleries in Tate Britain gallery. The two stripped down decommissioned fighter jets dominate these great spaces. A Harrier Jump Jet, suspended from the ceiling painted with feint feathers, and the Jaguar, stripped of all ot's paint and polished to a gleaming high silver. Says the artist: "I remember long sublime walks in the Welsh mountains with my father, when suddenly a fighter plane would rip through the sky , and shatter everything. It was so exciting, loud and overwhelming. It would really take our breath away. The sound would arrive from nowhere, all you would see was a shadow and then the plane was gone. At the time the Jump Jets were at the cutting edge of technology but to me they were like dinosaurs, prehistoric, from a time before words."

  • BAE System Hawks of the Red Arrows, Britain's RAF aerobatic team and airfield signs landscape. Six Hawk jet aircraft of the elite team, taxi in after another training flight past warning boards that are appropriate for armed jet fighters at RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus rather than aerobatic planes. From a low angle we see a wide landscape looking over the taxi-way markings that direct military airplanes. The Red Arrows aircraft are a deep red colour that stand out against the horizon in an identical line. It is a wide expanse of road surface, the yellow centre-lines are for the benefit of pilots who need guidance for parking areas after landing, or leaving towards the departing runway on the southern part of the Cypriot Mediterranean island. With the Red Arrows, the  taxiing jets all peel off in unison to and from the parking area and these lines are vital for this technique.

  • Hawk jets of the Red Arrows, Britain's RAF aerobatic team practice display using an old ship wreck as display datum (centre). Looking out to the Mediterranean Sea from the Akrotiri Peninsular, Cyprus, we see the elite team, practising their display, a show-stopping manoeuvre of their 25-minute air show display routine. A rusted and crumbling hulk of a ship lies in the shallow surf and the Hawk jets used by the Red Arrows fan out above it using red, white and blue smoke. The shipwreck's remains provide a sad foreground to the dynamic flying beyond making a graphic landscape. 'Datum' is an axis on which the Red Arrows focus their displays, from where the whole show is visible at the crowd's centre. 'The Wreck' is but one of a series of datum points selected by the team leader at short notice to simulate diverse geographical features and wind directions

  • Hawk jets of the Red Arrows, Britain's RAF aerobatic team perform training display over the skies above their Lincolnshire home. Their winter training flight takes them over Brattleby Hill just outside the perimeter fence of their base at RAR Scampton. But ironically, the word Slow has been stencilled on this quiet road though the Hawk jets fly up to 500mph. During their training period, they fly up to 6 times daily, when weather permits, learning new manoeuvres.

  • Single pilot of the Red Arrows, Britain's RAF aerobatic team walks out to his Hawk aircraft before a display flight to Jordan. In the mid-day heat, Flt. Lt. Jez Griggs is a member of the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team. Here he walks out alone to his aircraft, which is lined up with some of the others jets at RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus before flying out to Marka in Jordan for the first display of the year. The Red Arrows arrive each April to fine-tune their air show skills in the clear Mediterranean skies and continue their busy display calendar above the skies of the UK and other European show circuit. We see Griggs carrying his flight bag and life-vest. He paces confidently across the bright 'apron' dressed in his famous red flying suit that the Red Arrows have made famous since 1965. He is alone and striding confidently towards the matching red eight Hawk airplanes.

  • Airliners landing at London Heathrow airport. With landing lights on like stars in distant skies, we see the jets coming in one after another at dusk - a busy time in the airport's day. London Heathrow is a major international airport, the busiest airport in the United Kingdom and the busiest airport in Europe by passenger traffic. It is also the third busiest airport in the world by total passenger traffic, handling more international passengers than any other airport around the globe. From the chapter entitled 'Up in the Air' and from the book 'Risk Wise: Nine Everyday Adventures' by Polly Morland (Allianz, The School of Life, Profile Books, 2015).

  • Hawk jets of the Red Arrows, Britain's RAF aerobatic team perform training display over the skies above their Lincolnshire home. Overhead they fly near an old MoD landing light at the end of the airfield runway at RAF Scampton. This is an In-Season Practice (ISP) training flight near their base at RAF Scampton. In front of a local crowd at the airfield they practice a 25-minute series of display manoeuvres that are loved by thousands at summer air shows. Their objective is to appear perfectly spaced from a ground perspective are seen below. After some time off, spare days like this are used to hone their manual aerobatic and piloting skills before re-joining the air show circuit. Since 1965 they've flown over 4,000 shows in 52 countries.

Their leaning curve is steep, even for these accomplished fast-jet aviators who had already accumulated 1,500 hours in fighters. By Summer they need every aspect of their 25-minute displays honed to perfection.

From the top of the banner we see the short-haul A319 type to the bottom which has featured the long-range A340-600 version. Alongside each model's profile, we see the aircraft's statistics and performance figures. Airbus is the main competitor to the American Boeing range of modern airliners. Airbus is an aircraft manufacturing subsidiary of EADS, a European aerospace company. Based in Blagnac, France, the company produces approximately half of the world's jet airliners, employing around 63,000 people at sixteen sites in four European Union countries: France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Spain.

They are both static exhibits at Britain's Farnborough Airshow and are on the ground before their afternoon flying displays delighting potential buyers of these jet aircraft, and the aviation-loving general public. These are the airplane giants and their bidding for airline contracts and orders is a fierce on-going fight for dominance in the world's skies. The teo planes are low in the picture to emphasize the blue skies above. Etihad's emblem seen on the tail is that of a falcon while the Airbus is a generic demonstrator that flies around the world on a continuous marketing tour.

The wingspan of the fighter plane spreads itself across the ground as the young lads fantasise about the end of the era of supersonic airliners, brought to a close with the French national tragedy. Air France Flight 4590 was a Concorde flight operated by Air France which was scheduled to fly from Charles de Gaulle International Airport near Paris, to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City. On 25 July 2000, it crashed into a hotel in Gonesse, France. All one hundred passengers and nine crew members on board the flight died. On the ground, four people were killed and one seriously injured.

  • In fading afternoon sunlight, after the mid-day heat of the arid Sonoran desert are the remains of TWA Boeing 747s and McDonnell Douglas DC-10 airliners which sit as if in a take-off queue at the storage facility at Mojave airport, California. Here, the fate of the world’s retired civil airliners is decided by age or a cooling economy and are either cannibalised for still-working parts or recycled for scrap, their aluminium fuselages worth more than their sum total. After a lifetime of safe commercial flight, wings are clipped and cockpits sliced apart by huge guillotines, cutting through their once-magnificent engineering. 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.

The lake is but one of a series of datum points selected by the team leader as a geographical point from which to navigate. 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.
