  • It's a free for all as elderly pensioners sift through piles of clothing left outside a community hall at a 1986 jumble sale in the south Wales town of Abergavenney, Monmouthshire. Some hold up items of clothing and others are happy to stand back and watch while some young children descend some steps of this Victorian-era building during a charity event held by the local Lions club, whose volunteers help the elderly and the disadvantaged within their community. Property has been donated and the old folks' attention is on their finds which are within their price range, having to survive on meagre pensions.

  • Looking as if from a past era, two ladies examine shoes at a 1986 jumble sale in the south Wales town of Abergavenney, Monmouthshire. Both are holding right-foot shoes that might suit them at this charity event held by the local Lions club, whose volunteers help the elderly and the disadvantaged within their community. We see some of the clothing piled up on trestle tables but the ladies' attention is just on their finds which are within their price range, having to survive on meagre pensions.

  • In the heat and dust of the arid Sonoran desert are the remains of a Boeing 747 cockpit at the storage facility at Mojave, California. The wiring of the now-extinct flight engineer's console is a jumble of old technology. Either by age or cooling economy airliners are either cannibalised for still-working parts or recycled for scrap, their aluminium fuselages worth more than their sum total. Elsewhere, assorted aircraft wrecks sit abandoned in the scrub minus their bellies, legs or wings like dying birds. After a lifetime of safe commercial flight, wings are clipped and cockpits sliced apart by huge guillotines, cutting through their once-magnificent 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..

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.
