  • In mid-day heat of the arid Sonoran desert sit the remains of a Boeing airliner sat the storage facility at Mojave, California. Here, the fate of the world’s retired civil airliners is 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 commercial 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

A Boeing 747 Jumbo jet sits nose-in behind another during a scheduled set of maintenance tasks that every aircraft needs to keep to in order for its continued airworthiness. The unmistakable shape of this large aircraft is a half-silhouette against the intensity of the hangar and blue flare spots that arise from the internal glass in the camera's lens. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).

  • In the bustle of a modern metropolis, two red Routemaster buses pass each other in Threadneedle Street. The Pillars of the Bank of England can just be seen left as pedestrians either stride past on the pavement, wait for another service or board the number 8 that is bound for Old Ford & Bow Church in the east end. Meanwhile, in the cab of his bus, the driver's hands and chest of the 11 destined for Fulham Broadway in the west can be seen in the sun, as he continues his journey in the opposite direction. Advertising is present on each mode of transport too: A travel ad for Rome (with a picture of St. Peter's in the Vatican) and for two west end musicals - Cyrano de Bergerac and Lost in Yonkers. Routemasters are largely being phased out, replaced by more modern, cleaner-engined models that hold more passengers.

  • NHS Paramedic Janet Greenhead cycles through the departures concourse on her Specialized Rockhopper mountain bike in Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5. Janet is a Responder with the cycle response unit (CRU), a part of the London Ambulance Service whose job it is to attend injuries within Heathrow's terminals. Pedalling the heavy bike laden with 55kg of medical emergency equipment she answers the calls from those with a cut finger, a baggage handler who’s injured an arm, a child who’s fallen over with cuts and bruises or a much more serious incident like a cardiac arrest which are common in an airport where passengers feel under stress or who forget to take their medicines while jet lagged. During a busy shift, she could end up cycling more than eight miles. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).

It is a busy pavement outside the main entrance to the Royal Academy (RA) art museum and gallery on the capital's Piccadilly in London's west end. The ambulance has been called to a visitor who has fallen ill inside the RA and its presence within the frame of the shelter makes for a confusing landscape.

  • The names of battles in nothern France, scenes of slaughter and sacrifice for young men of the First World War, seen on a memorial at Wincheters College, England where many old boys schooled here and who went on to become leaders and officers in the trenches. The lost generation of British youth is displayed on such memorials across the country, killed at Arras, Bapaume and Vimy - and especially on the Somme during the conflict called 'the war to end all wars'. World War I (WWI) was a global war centred in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. Ultimately, more than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, were mobilised in one of the largest wars in history. More than 9 million combatants were killed.

  • A guardsman of an unknown regiment, stands on ceremonial duty in the Mall during celebrations of the Queen's official Golden Jubilee in June 2002. The soldier in resplendent red tunic and the controversial bearskin is an iconic emblem of Britain's armed forces during official events. But the officer may be a Grenadier or a Welsh Guard who share similar uniforms and perform similar duties in London. We see over his shoulder on which his regimental insignia is and also where the bayonet of his weapon is fixed and dangerously sharp. He is a sergeant major and therefore responsible for other soldiers' rank and files. The Grenadier Guards (GREN GDS) is the most senior regiment of the Guards Division of the British Army, and, as such, is the most senior regiment of infantry. The Grenadier Guards celebrated its 350th anniversary in 2006.

  • Using ladders and ropes during a rescue operation, Fire Brigade crews enter the floodlit broken air frame of a British Midland Airways Boeing 737-400 series jet airliner which lies on an embankment of the M1 motorway at Kegworth, near East Midlands Airport in Leicestershire, England. On the night of 8th January 1989, flight 92 crashed due to the shutting down of the wrong, malfunctioning engine. Attempting an emergency landing, 47 people died and 74 people, including seven members of the flight crew, sustained serious injuries. We see the aircraft's tail snapped upright at ninety degrees. Here perished most of the passenger fatalities. The devastation was hampered by woodland and the fire fighters are attempting to rescue survivors or extract those killed in this air disaster that proved one of Btitain's worst.
