  • Sightseers use periscopes to watch the parade during the annual Bastille Day celebrations though the Champs-Elysees in the French capital. As the military might of the nation passes-by followed by the French President, Parisians crane their necks to watch the spectacle, unseen to those who merely stand on the ground, some rows behind the main crowd lining the route. So gaining advantage by using these cardboard viewers that use mirrors at each end set parallel to each other at a 45-degree angle. Used by spectators for hundreds of years: Johann Gutenberg, better known for his contribution to printing technology, marketed a kind of periscope in the 1430s to enable pilgrims to see over the heads of the crowd at the religious festival at Aachen

  • Behind railings that honoured American aviator Wilbur Wright at the annual Le Mans air show, France, seven spectators gaze upwards to a clear sky where a lone but unseen aircraft performs in front of the French crowd. Wright made 110 flights at Le Mans and nearby Auvours in 1908 and his legacy for French and global aerospace lives on at events like this where a replica of his Wright Flyer was also exhibited. It is a bright summer's day and the blue sky has vapour trails left by a previous display pilot's jet engine. A prominent British Union Jack flutters on a pole and the words 'invites' (for invited guests only) are printed on to sheets of paper. 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.
