  • Kneeling in undergrowth, a camouflaged British infantry soldier is seen looking down the telescopic sight of the new British-made Long Range L115A3 sniper rifle on Salisbury Plain, Warminster, England. Sniping means concealment, observation and assassination, a strategy the British are using more against the Taliban in Afghanistan. Swiss Lapua .338 inch rounds (8.59mm) travel at sub-sonic speeds of 936 metres/sec, finding its target accurately up to 1,100 metres. The rifle weighs 6.8kg with telescopic image-intensified scopes to 25x life size vision, made by Schmidt & Bender. Front-mounted ‘suppressor’ minimises the signature normally compromising snipers’ position. At £23,000 each, a £4 million contract has been awarded to Accuracy International, to provide the Army, Royal Marines and RAF. The British say this is the best sniper rifle in the world.

  • Surgeons perform an operation during a procedure at the private Health Care International hospital. With great care, two surgeons work intensely wearing hygienic facemasks and perform their intricate work carefully. This hospital delivered only high-end medicine to foreign patients and telemedicine was popular in the 90s when a growing awareness of the potential benefits of advanced medicine, emerging democracies, growing middle classes and an ageing population worldwide established locations like this in Scotland. But they were expensive to build and run and this hospital at Clydebank of up to 500 beds catered primarily for foreigners who flew into Glasgow airport, was built with the assistance of £30 million of public money, went into receivership when its target of overseas business was slower to build-up impacting its cash flows.

The Iraqi no-fly zones (NFZs) were proclaimed by the United States, United Kingdom and France after the Gulf War of 1991 to protect humanitarian operations in northern Iraq and Shiite Muslims in the south. Iraqi aircraft were forbidden from flying inside the zones. The policy was enforced by US, UK and French aircraft patrols until France withdrew in 1998.

  • We look through the windscreen of a Royal Air Force C-130-J Hercules to see a pilots-eye view of his fixed head-up-display (HUD), while in flight over Hampshire during the Farnborough Air Show. We see the aircraft flying data in green set against the magenta colour (color) of the clouds and sky beyond. The pilot will see the statistics that are important aspects of his aeroplane's altitude, compass heading, localiser, air speed, pitch, roll and yaw. Head-up displays are increasingly important to military and commercial aircraft (airplanes) when information can be displayed without obstructing the user's front view front. The second type of HUD is mounted within a protective helmet visor. The C-130 Hercules primarily performs the tactical portion of airlift operations. The aircraft is capable of operating from rough, dirt strips and is the prime transport for air dropping troops and equipment into hostile areas. The C-130-J is the newer generation digital version with fully integrated digital avionics; color multifunctional liquid crystal displays including the HUD; state-of-the-art navigation systems with dual inertial navigation system and global positioning system; fully integrated defensive systems; low-power color radar; digital moving map display; new turboprop engines with six-bladed, all-composite propellers; digital auto pilot; improved fuel, environmental and ice-protection systems; and an enhanced cargo-handling system.

  • An NHS surgeon performs an operation in a London hospital using endoscopy. Watching the progress of the instrument as it makes its way along a part of the stomach, the surgeon uses his skill to make minute adjustments using great care and hand-eye co-ordination. Endoscopy means ‘looking inside’ and typically refers to looking inside the body for medical reasons using an endoscope, an instrument used to examine the interior of a hollow organ or cavity of the body. Unlike most other medical imaging devices, endoscopes are inserted directly into the organ. Endoscopy can also refer to using a borescope in technical situations where direct line-of-sight observation is not feasible.

  • Seen from a low angle at the side of the track, near where grass and daisies grow, a speeding Eurostar TGV train hurtles towards the viewer, blurring as it comes towards us. This is the Kent countryside, otherwise known as the fertile Garden of England, and the route for high-speed trains that ply back and forth between western Europe and London St Pancras. This international passenger service was made possible by the completion of the Channel Tunnel in 1994 operating eighteen-carriage Class 373 trains which run at up to 300 kilometres per hour (186 mph) on a network of high-speed lines. Eurostar is operated by the national railway companies of France and Belguim, SNCF and SNCB, and by Eurostar (UK) Ltd (EUKL), a subsidiary of London and Continental Railways (LCR) which in turn also owns the high-speed infrastructure and stations on the British side.

  • From the darkened room of Coventry council's CCTV control room, we see over the shoulder of a council camera operator spying on innocent pedestrians and a view of a shopping precinct. Citizens and passers-by go about their own business unaware that their movements are being watched by camera lenses and their human eyes and security personnel. Other monitor screens date the pictures as 24th May 1999 when Coventry was the most-watched city in Britain. The council controversially maintains it deters petty crime but the population disagrees, saying it is obtrusive and symptomatic of a Big Brother-type Orwellian police state.
