  • A map of the view below becomes useless in heavy mist and fog above Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, France. Saint-Cirq-Lapopie is a commune in the Lot department in south-western France. It is a member of the Les Plus Beaux Villages de France The most beautiful villages of France association. Its position, originally selected for defense, perched on a steep cliff 100 m above the river has helped make the town one of the most popular tourist destinations in the department.

  • Seen from the air at dawn, the last remaining B-52 bombers from the Cold War-era are laid out in grids across the arid desert near Tucson Arizona. These retired aircraft whose air frames are too old for flight are being recycled, their aluminium worth more than their sum total. In the nuclear arms treaties of the 80s, Soviet satellites proved their decommissioning by spying the tails had been sliced apart huge guillotines and set at right-angles. This is a scene of confrontation, with opposing forces apparently facing each other in the way that Soviet and western armies fought the war of propaganda. 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 Closed Footpath sign fallen into a hole during pavement works in the south London borough of Lewisham. A blue plastic barrier inexpertly blocks the broken paving stones at a pedestrian crossing in Brockley in south London. And we notice the upside down sign telling the public that the pathway is closed, dangerous to use and evidence of disruption to the inform or users of wheelchairs or childrens' buggies. Comically, the notice is itself, falling down the hole.

  • Seen from the air at dawn, dozens of F-4 Phantom fighters from the Cold War-era are laid out in grids across the arid desert at Davis-Monthan Air Forbe Base near Tucson Arizona. These retired aircraft whose air frames are too old for flight are being stored then recycled, their aluminium worth more than their sum total at this repository for old military fighter and bomber aircraft. They sit in neat rows in low light, their shadowy wings are blue in colour but their fuselage are stripped of markings, being taped up against the dust. This is a scene of once-great flying machines relegated to sad scrap, long-after the Soviet Union's own demise when western armies fought a war of propaganda.

  • The wrecked remains of a Curtiss C-46 Commando WW2-era transport aircraft awaiting salvage or recycling in the desert airfield of Davis Monthan in Tucson, Arizona. The Curtiss C-46 Commando is a transport aircraft originally derived from a commercial high-altitude airliner design. It was instead used as a military transport during World War II by the United States Army Air Forces as well as the U.S. Navy/Marine Corps under the designation R5C. Known to the men who flew them as "The Whale," the "Curtiss Calamity," the "plumber's nightmare" and the "flying coffin," At the time of its production, the C-46 was the largest twin-engine aircraft in the world, and the largest and heaviest twin-engine aircraft to see service in World War II.

  • In mid-day heat of the arid Arizona desert sit the remains of a Boeing airliner and a US Navy fighter jet and engines stacked  at the storage facility at Davis Monthan, Tucson. Here, the fate of the world’s retired civil airliners and military aircraft are decided by age or a cooling economy and are either cannibalised for still-working parts or recycled for scrap, their aluminium fuselages worth more than their sum total. After a lifetime of safe flight, wings are clipped and cockpits sliced apart by huge guillotines, cutting through their once-magnificant engineering. 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.

  • An aerial detail of many coils of undeveloped, generic 35mm film emulsion, collected before disposal. Film is an antiquated analogue technology that has been largely replaced by the remarkable digital mega pixel camera and the process of recording photographic images and their safe-keeping is fast-becoming lost as a skill. The square holes to the top and bottom are for the camera winder to grasp on to, allowing the film to advance to the next frame inside the light-tight camera body. This film is unprocessed, having been removed from its cassette for display.

  • Street sign for Needless Alley in central Birmingham, United Kingdom. Needless Alley is a little passage north off New Street. From the late 18th century Birmingham’s planners set about removing passages, and alleys, seeing as them as useless for commerce, and unsavoury. The survival of the alleyway was certainly never assured. In 1829, the Birmingham Journal said it was ‘needless by name and needless by nature’.
