  • Now an overgrown, mildew-ridden farm shack in woodland in Seething, Norfolk England, this wall mural was once one of the barracks housing 3,000 young World War 2 bomber crews so was probably painted by a young aspiring artist and aviator with the 448th Bomb Group, a fleet of bombers based in England from November 1943 to July 1945. The picture depicts a confrontation between US Air Force B-24 Liberators, a P-51 Mustang and probably a German Dornier. There are hairline cracks in the plaster but the yellow hue of the hand-painted wall is largely intact despite damp conditions in the shed. There are however, other artistic details now faded. 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.

  • In a farmer's tool shed, a painted mural depicting B-24 Liberators sweeping over the cracked brick wall of what was once an officers’ mess at the WW2 Wendling airfield, Norfolk England. Below this scene of heroic military might, young officers flying Liberators of the 392nd Bomb Group gathered before and after raids into Germany from November 1943 to July 1945. The runway is now partly covered by a turkey farm and this building is now full of car and tractor parts.

  • 'Counting the Cost' is a memorial sculpture in glass designed by Renato Niemis which is outside at the American Air Museum at the Imperial War Museum, RAF Duxford, England. The sculpture comprises of 52 toughened clear float glass panels, each etched with the outlines of 7,031 aircraft missing in action in operations flown by American air forces (Air Force and Navy Groups) from Britain during the Second World War. The images are scaled at 1:240, diagonally pointing towards the blue summer sky once filled with bombers and fighters during the air campaign over Germany and France.

  • As traffic zooms past, the art installation called 'House' stands alone on a now-empty and house-less East London street. Oddly, the contours of the structure have been inverted to reveal an inside-out version of the original building. It is a concrete cast of the inside of an entire Victorian terraced house completed in autumn 1993 and exhibited at the location of the original property — 193 Grove Road — in East London (all the houses in the street had earlier been knocked down by the council). Created by the artist Rachel Whiteread CBE (born 1963) this is her best-known sculpture. It won her the Turner Prize (the first woman to do so) for best young British artist in 1993. Here we see 'House' next to a lamp post which throws down it's light on a winter evening, before it was controversially demolished by the council in January 1994.

  • Visitors ponder the installation of artist Fiona Banner's fighter jet art work 'Harrier and Jaguar' which is exhibited in the south Duveens gallery at Tate Britain, London. This Sea Harrier aircraft was once in service with the Royal Air Force (RAF). It's serial number was ZE695 and the first flight was in 1988, crashing after its pilot ejected in 2000. Its insertion into the gallery was by dismantling the fuselage and re-assembling in situ. Its nose points a few inches from the ground and we see it's now empty cockpit. Banner's art is concerned with flying machines of war that flow low over her as a child in Wales. They may be machines of war but also have the personalities of hanging or submissive birds or beasts, nudes or totems, provoking the idea of body and machine in intimate confrontation. The show runs 28 June 2010 – 3 January 2011.

  • The soon to disappear market at Elephant & Castle shopping centre in the London borough of Southwark. Its demise will be welcome to many locals who see Elephant as an inner-city ghetto though gentrification at the expense of affordable housing provokes others to protest. Lend Lease is working in partnership with Southwark Council to deliver a £1.5 billion regeneration project in Elephant & Castle. Over the next ten years, we will build nearly 3,000 new homes, over 50 shops and restaurants, and a brand new park. The Elephant & Castle redevelopment is integral to Southwark’s wider regeneration plan, which includes the creation of a new pedestrianised town centre, market square, 5,000 new and replacement homes, approximately 500,000 square feet of retail and leisure space, an integrated public transport hub and five green spaces.

  • Animals kept in appalling conditions at this snake farm on Khlong Bangkok Yai canal. Basing the ethos of the farm on snake conservation did not seem appropriate given the conditions that the snakes and other much larger anomals were kept. In unclean water, cages and tanks, with little vegatation and looking rarely cleaned, the animals had a palour of illness, exhaustion and in cases, madness. Snakes during the snake show were repeatedly provoked into attack by the snake handlers slapping, pinching and throwing the snakes.
