  • Chief Technician Kerry Griffiths is a with the 'Red Arrows', Britain's Royal Air Force aerobatic team, the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team. In camouflaged military green jacket, large forearms and rolled-up sleeves, he oversees the loading of spares and personal effects into a C-130 Hercules aircraft before the two-day journey from RAF Scampton to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. Surrounded by heavy-duty flight-spares, survival equipment boxes and a tyre for a Hawk jet aircraft, the Hercules looms large in the overcast sky. The team complete their winter training schedule in Cyprus. The Red Arrows pilots fly their own jet aircraft to air shows but when requiring the support of ground crew  they borrow a transporter to fly behind the main airborne squadron. 10 tons of spares and personal effects are shipped for a six-week stay.

  • Spare wheels belonging to Hawk aircraft of the 'Red Arrows', Britain's Royal Air Force aerobatic team are stored in the team’s hangar at RAF Scampton. On a shelf are the front and rear tyres (tires) and wheel of the Hawk jet aircraft that perform across the UK in the summer months. Since 1965 the squadron have flown over 4,000 shows in 52 countries and are an important part of Britain's summer events where the aircraft perform their manoeuvres in front of crowds. Their spares collection is therefore a vital element to the team’s presence at air shows and fly-pasts. This version of the BAE Systems Hawk is primitive, without computers or fly-by-wire technology. Nevertheless, the team's aircraft are in some cases over 20 years old and their air-frames require constant attention with increasingly frequent major overhauls due.

  • Corporal Andrew Haynes and Senior Aircraftman Michael Owen load boxes packed with the possessions and kit belonging to the elite 'Red Arrows' pilots, Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team, before travelling for winter training at Akrotiri in Cyprus. In the team's hangar at RAF Scampton, Lincolnshire, the two Suppliers lift the reinforced cardboard 'tri-pack' struggling to lift the weight from the ground. Corporal Haynes lifts with the correct technique: knees bent, straight back. The man on the right, has a bent back risking spinal injury. Some 80-plus members of the team will spend six weeks away from home. 23 tons of spares and personal effects travel ahead by ship with another 10 tons travelling on-board a C-130 transport aircraft. The Suppliers ensure possessions and spares are stored taking many weeks of meticulous planning.

  • Corporal Chris Ward, one of the photographers belonging to the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team, reads a novel while wrapped up in sleeping bag and hammock aboard a C-130 Hercules transport aircraft during a two-day journey from RAF Scampton to RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus. Corporal Ward has established for himself a comfortable nest in the rear section at the loading ramp. The interior is basic with sharp corners but the walls are padded.  Ward wears a heavy camouflaged coat to counteract the cold and ear-plugs from the droning engines. The Red Arrows pilots fly their Hawk jet aircraft to air shows but on long journeys requiring the support of ground crew borrow RAF transporters that fly behind the main airborne squadron shipping 10 tons of spares and personal effects for their six-week winter training stay.

  • A businessman childminds in the City of London. With minutes to spare in warm sunshine, the man shows paternal instincts and sits at the bottom steps and tilts the unseen child seated safely in the family pushchair, pulling faces and keeping it entertained beneath the tall columns of this architecture in the Square Mile, the oldest and financial heart of the capital. The classic neo-Romanesque architecture of the Royal Exchange building has Doric and Ionic columns with their ornate stonework, designed by Sir William Tite in 1842-1844 and opened in 1844 by Queen Victoria). It’s the third building of the kind erected on the same site. The first Exchange erected in 1564-70 by sir Thomas Gresham but was destroyed in the great fire of 1666. It’s successor, by Jarman, was also burned down in 1838. The present building is grade 1 listed and cost about £150,000.

  • The first mass anti-communist protests took place in July 1990, forcing the regime into some cosmetic changes in economic policy. It was in vain: shortages of spare parts, aging machinery, drought and growing unrest brought the economy to a standstill. By the year's end, after strong student and trade union protests, the regime was forced to accept a multiparty system. Hoxha's gilded statue in Skanderbeg Square, Tirana, was torn down by rioters on February 20, 1991.

  • Deserted fertilizer factory in Lac. Albania’s rigid Stalinists considered heavy industry the force driving all developed economies. All of Albania’s industrial branches suffered from obsolete equipment, inadequate infrastructure, and low levels of worker skill and motivation. Shortages of energy, spare parts, and raw materials stopped industrial production almost entirely in the early 1990s. The fertilizer plant in Lac, designed by the Chinese, was in production, from 1967 to early 2000. The plant used slave labour and it’s processes  have permanently polluted the area, leaching arsenic and copper into the groundwater and contaminating local drinking water sources.

  • Some of the nine Hawk jet aircraft of the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team, perform the 5/4 Split high during an In-Season Practice (ISP) training flight near their base at RAF Scampton. Seen through the explosive Plexiglass cockpit of a tenth plane, we see forward into deep blue sky as two sets of aerobatic pilots steer their machines from a crossover manoeuvre, their organic white smoke pouring from their jet pipes to emphasize their paths through the air. In front of a local crowd at the airfield the team work their way through a 25-minute series of display manoeuvres that are loved by thousands at summer air shows. 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.

  • A lady concentrates in a cluttered office unit beneath corporate artwork in Ernst & Young's Norman Foster-designed building. The oval-shaped picture depicts an esasperated-looking female rolling her eyes to the ceiling while her contemporary below stares down at her laptop surrounded by the paraphernalia of her accounting London job. Dressed in an open-neck shirt and wearing glasses, the woman at work is busy and preoccupied with the job in hand of auditing a company's accounts. Despite all the 385,000 square feet in the European headquarters on the River Thames, there is no spare space in this tiny office that she shares with another employee. The Fine Art has been supplied by Anderson O'Day and E & Y have invested in 500,000 Pounds of office art for their 114,000 employees in 700 locations across 140 countries around the world.

  • During a journey into America's hinterlands, days after the September 11th attacks in New York and Washington DC, crowds of New Yorkers gathered at barriers where streets were closed, near Ground Zero, to offer help for volunteers: Spare beds offered, free food distributed, and  offers of salvation. A man here has a board urging prayer and revival for those feeling spiritually adrift. American flags hang from buildings and businessmen and tourists talk in the street with some wearing dust masks. In outpourings of grief, anger and patriotic rhetoric, flags were flown as never before as America sought to express their emotions and a unity.

  • Engineering ground staff of the Red Arrows, Britain's RAF aerobatic team, rest in the shade before working on their Hawk jets. These are 'line' engineers from the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team, and are resting while their precious aircraft are up in the air during training in Cyprus. It is hot for these north Europeans and they use the shade of one spare jet on the ground before again, jumping back to work when the jets return. The men are members of the team's support ground crew (called the Blues because of their distinctive blue overalls worn at summer air shows). The team's support ground crew who outnumber the pilots 8:1 and without them, the Red Arrows couldn't fly. Eleven trades are imported from some sixty that the RAF employs and teaches.

  • A young man has stopped by a rubbish bin to inspect his shoulder on which a nearby pigeon has recently messed on his best work suit. It is an unfortunate incident in the middle of a working day for this man in the heart of the City of London, London's financial centre - otherwise called The Square Mile. Armed with a spare tissue paper, the male cranes his neck over the shoulder to see how much of the crap remains while the flock of birds pace around on nearby grass to scavenge for crumbs left by other lunchtime office workers, otherwise enjoying warm weather in Bishopsgate Churchyard.

  • A street beggar has been noticed by a young Italian boy who points out the poor kneeling body to his parent. A stick lies on the ground with a paper cup to collect any spare change offered and a cash customer stands entering his pin number into the automated bank dispenser, his back to the underclass of society. This has become normal for what has become the modern face of Italian society in this once-grand medieval city. The city lies on the River Arno and is known for its history and its importance in the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance, especially for its art and architecture. A centre of medieval European trade and finance and one of the wealthiest cities of the time, Florence has been called the Athens of the Middle Ages.

  • Hasan, left discusses the health of the trees with Noraziza on her small family plot in Beluran District, Sabah, Malaysia, on 10 September 2016. The family has been able to increase their yields since becoming part of the Wild Asia Group scheme, which works with the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil to support Malaysian smallholders to become certified sustainable. This includes improving farm management, reducing their use of pesticides and fertilizers, and increasing yields. The lush ground cover on this plot is a sign that herbicide is being used sparingly. Smallholders account for 40% of global palm oil production, and as such play an important role in increasing sustainability within the industry.

The staircase has seven mahogany carvings by Thomas Nicholls on the newel posts, these representing characters from Alexandre Dumas’s The Three Musketeers. As an example of a late Victorian mansion, it was built for William Waldorf Astor primarily as his state office by one of the foremost neo-Gothic architects of the late nineteenth-century, John Loughborough Pearson. Astor had emigrated to England in 1891 as arguably, the richest man in the world and no expense was spared when work began on Two Temple Place in 1892. Today, the building is owned by the Bulldog Trust and supports the charitable activities of the Trust through exhibitions and events hosted in the building.
