  • Near the end of the military runway at RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk England, a road sign warns of low-flying aircraft near the base which is populated by the United States Air Force Refuelling Wing. Beneath the triangular sign is a locally made makeshift advertisement for CJ's, a nearby cafe. It is summer and the shrubs are green with white flowers to the side. The sign itself has become discoloured with green algae after being rained on over successive wet weather days. In the UK, the Highway Code for road-users lists this warning sign (always triangular) as "Low-flying aircraft or sudden aircraft noise." 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 young man whistles to a tune that he is listening to through headphones. It is 1989 and the Walkman is the toy of choice for the urban young - the first portable music device that helped change the way society took their taped music out and about - and years before the Apple iPod. It worked but one had to press the foam pads into the ears to drown out background city noise plus the cassette tape often snagged and twisted, ruining the product.

  • This photographic artwork depicting a young boy fills the entire side of a four-storey terrace in Herbrand Street, Bloomsbury - but it has not necessarily impressed those living nearby.<br />
The image, which has been printed on paper and pasted onto the property's side wall, is by a French artist known as "JR", whose work currently features in an exhibition of street art at Tate Modern.<br />
JR told a local newspaper: "It's a mural, it's there for a period of time and can come off very easily. If people don't like it they can criticise it or scratch it off.<br />
"It's not my piece of art any more, it's in the street for everybody."<br />
The image is expected to be removed in the next few days but it has been condemned by the Bloomsbury conservation area advisory committee.<br />
Chairman Bill Reed said: "While many sites can benefit from this sort of thing, a listed building in a conservation area definitely doesn't."

Their winter training flight takes them over Brattleby Hill just outside the perimeter fence of their base at RAR Scampton.

  • During the annual Southend Air show on the Thames river estuary, elderly ladies listen to the loud roar military jets overhead. Thousands have lined-up along the seaside town’s promenade, awaiting the appearance of the 'Red Arrows', Britain's Royal Air Force aerobatic team. The team’s merchandising trailer has been parked among the crowds, selling a range of squadron memorabilia to members of the public and careers advice to wannabe RAF personnel of the future. 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 Claas combine harvester edges slowly through rural hamlet in Langlade, Charente-Maritime region, France. Between stone walls and the homes of local villagers, the large machinery tows the cutterbar behind on wheels, pulling it along towards the next field to be harvested. The weather is good for bringing in the corn or barley on nearby farms but rain is forecast in coming days so the contractor/operator needs to work till late and move on to the next job before the sunshine and warmth ends.

  • On a grey day in the metropolis of Hong Kong, a giant airliner belonging to an Asian airline passes overhead, seemingly just over the roofs of apartment buildings and offices. The aircraft is nearly at the point of touching down on the runway which is just beyond this street in Kowloon district in the days when Hong Kong was still a British colony and before its handover to Chinese law. The dominating shape of the jet is flying into the former airport called Kai Tak whose runway jutted out into the city’s harbour before the airfield was closed and a new location was opened in an outlying island. We look up to see a wide expanse of overcast sky with the red vertical Cantonese characters of a local business and which echoes the red beacon on the plane’s belly that flashes during the last moments of flight before the actual landing.

  • A Virgin Atlantic Airbus A340 crosses the perimeter fence at Heathrow Airport on its way to an international destination. Seen from below, the passing Jumbo takes-off and climbs under full take-off power over the surrounding airfield security fence. Its razor-wire is an effective deterrent against protesters or terrorists and symbolises the lengths that airport authorities (in this case BAA) need go to to ensure their property is safe. The aircraft is seen almost entangled in the secure wire as if passing through the mesh. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).

  • Protester as an undead Amy Winehouse. Stoke Newington Zombie-a-thon. Hundreds of people joined together in protest in North London to demonstrate against the planned opening of a large Sainsbury's supermarket. Dressed up as zombies the protesters were making the point that they should keep local shops in the area and not have the high street ruined by large chains. The action by Stokey Local says: "In Stoke Newington, even the dead are rising up to say 'no' to a proposed Sainsbury's development." Walking slowly as if in a zombie film the march culminated in passing a Sainsbury's Local supermarket on the High Street. In the middle of June it was announced that a development is being planned for Wilmer Place, just beside Abney Park Cemetery on the corner of Church Street and the High Street – right in the heart of Stoke Newington. The proposed development comprises a large Sainsbury's supermarket and 44 homes and has significant implications for the diversity of the local economy, local employment, transport & traffic, noise and safety and local heritage.
