  • Line-up of trucks belonging to the Fordson tractor company during an agricultural exhibition in Paris in 1961.

  • Two of the ten gondolas that cross the River Thames of the (Emirates) Thames Cable Car, each with a maximum capacity of 10 passengers. The Emirates Air Line (also known as the Thames cable car) is a cable car link across the River Thames in London built with sponsorship from the airline Emirates. The service opened on 28 June 2012 and is operated by Transport for London. The service, announced in July 2010 and estimated to cost £60 million, comprises a 1-kilometre (0.62 mi) gondola line that crosses the Thames from the Greenwich Peninsula to the Royal Docks. A gondola lift, also called a cable car, is a type of aerial lift which is supported and propelled by cables from above. It consists of a loop of steel cable that is strung between two stations, sometimes over intermediate supporting towers. The cable is driven by a bullwheel in a terminal, which is typically connected to an engine or electric motor. ..

  • The Sir Christopher, an SR.N4 Hovercraft arriving at Ramsgate from the French coast. The SR.N4 (Saunders-Roe Nautical 4) hovercraft was a large passenger and vehicle carrying hovercraft  built by the British Hovercraft Corporation  (BHC). Work on the SR.N4 began in 1965 and the first trials took place in early 1968. The SR.N4 was the largest hovercraft built to that date, designed to carry 254 passengers in two cabins besides a two-lane automobile bay which held up to 30 cars. Cars were driven from a bow ramp just forward of the cockpit / wheelhouse.  The SR.N4's operated services across the English Channel between 1968 and 2000, when the Channel Tunnel made their service unprofitable.

  • Disused sign and pier stones near Old Ferry House, now a remote self-catering house at Grasspoint, Loch Don, Isle of Mull, Scotland. Until 1881 a regular packet boat operated between Oban and Grass Point. This was replaced that year by a daily steamer service from Oban to Tobermory. Until that time, cattle from Rum and Eigg were transported by boat to Croig on Mull's north coast, and then driven across the island to Grass Point, on their way to the mainland. Parts of the old drover's route are still visible. The old stone quay is no longer used, except by occasional leisure craft. Grass Point means 'the field of the rock' in Gaelic.

  • A local dad sledges down a hill in South London. Trying to pick up speed he holds his legs out in front to avoid too much breaking as deep snow has blocked this quiet road in Herne Hill, SE24. Behind the father is his son who also comes downhill, past parked cars that are all covered in snow - abandoned by owners who would otherwise have driven to work. settling on this part of London's inner-city - an unusual event - and the  heaviest precipitation for 18 years.

  • Four water-logged deckchairs have been abandoned on a wet Brighton's East Pier in East Sussex. It is Spring but the rain has driven away holidaymakers from this desolate and depressing spot from England's South coast seaside resort. We see a gloomy, grey sky and empty horizon with neither people, nor water activity but the stripes of the railings are echoed in the reflective wooden planks on this Victorian-era pier and of the fabric on the deckchairs. We wonder who might have sat on these chairs and where they might be now?  This landscape might be the antithesis of a holiday poster that repels rather than attracts tourists to this location.

  • A mother struggles to pull her young child over freshly fallen snow in a London street. With the child's tilted pushchair skating over compacted snow driven over many car tyres, the lady wears trainers that are themselves, ill-suited to walking though snow. Nearby vehicles are still covered in snow, having been left during this urban cold snap, something that Londoners are learning to cope with during times of economic council cuts when snow-clearing is not a spending priority.

  • Sitting drunk on a mid-town sidewalk (pavement), a construction worker wipes tears from his eyes. The man has driven from his mid-west home to offer help at the hazardous Ground Zero where for the past 4 days and nights he has been uncovering debris and human remains after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Exhausted and emotional, he was sent away for his own and the safety of others and alcohol was his first purchase. New Yorkers praised their heroes for assisting their city (and America) in their hour of need but here, passers-by stepped over him complaining of his drunken state. The now lonely man is distressed, tormented and psychologically fragile but gets no help. With his few possessions, his hard hat and flag, mask and cans of Budweiser we see a man at his lowest ebb.

  • A lone propeller-driven aeoplane banks right into evening skies during the world's largest aviation airshow at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, USA, at Oshkosh Air Venture, the world’s largest air show in Wisconsin USA. Close to a million populate the mass fly-in over the week, a pilgrimage worshipping all aspects of flight. The event annually generates $85 million in revenue over a 25 mile radius from Oshkosh. The event is presented by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), a national/international organization based in Oshkosh. The airshow is seven days long and typically begins on the last Monday in July. The airport's control tower is the busiest control tower in the world during the gathering.

  • A farmer ploughs his field using a Ford TW-25 tractor in Lincolnshire, England. The large hydraulically-driven machine drives over the land with its plough towed behind over hard-looking ground bought by a local dealer called Sharmans of Grantham, the nearest town. The word Ploughman is on the tractor's front, perhaps a nickname for this local landowner. An escarpment rises in the background towards a farmhouse on its ridge.

  • A view along the fuselage of a DC3 Dakota, from its tail aileron to its propeller. Pointing upwards as it sits on a low tail wheel and with one of its 4 propellers still against a blue sky, we see the plane painted in the colours that many appeared in during the D-Day landings in June 1944, from where paratroopers jumped out for the eventual invasion of German-occupied France. The Douglas DC-3 is a fixed-wing propeller-driven airliner. Its speed and range revolutionized air transport in the 1930s and 1940s. Its lasting impact on the airline industry and World War II makes it one of the most significant transport aircraft ever made. Many DC-3s and converted C-47s are still used in all parts of the world. The designation "DC" stands for "Douglas Commercial".
