  • Shipbuilders manhandle heavy piping up a ramp of stairs as another worker's sparks from welding falls below on the hull of a large German ferry at the Polish Gdansk shipyard - once known as the Lenin Shipyard but still the largest of its kind in modern Poland. The grimy and hazardous working conditions make for a dangerous environment in which to work. Here in 1980 the union Solidarity (Solidarnosc) was conceived and was partly responsible for a growing dissent against Communist rule, ultimately contributing towards the fall of the Berlin Wall. Lech Walesa started his political career as an electrical technician here, going on to lead Solidarity and then to become President of a democratic Poland. Today Gdansk is a major industrial city and shipping port.

Since 1965 they've flown over 4,000 shows in 52 countries.

Seen through the explosive Plexiglass cockpit of a tenth plane, we see forward into deep blue sky as two sets of aerobatic pilots steer their machines from a crossover manoeuvre, their organic white smoke pouring from their jet pipes to emphasize their paths through the air. In front of a local crowd at the airfield the team work their way through a 25-minute series of display manoeuvres that are loved by thousands at summer air shows. After some time off, spare days like this are used to hone their manual aerobatic and piloting skills before re-joining the air show circuit. Since 1965 they've flown over 4,000 shows in 52 countries.

  • A notice of power outage posted outside Somerset House in the Strand, central London. Partially open, business and access to this venue for the Arts is disrupted because of an electrical fire in a subterranean substation on nearby Kingsway which cause major disruption to local businesses and throughroutes for traffic as flames from ruptured gas pipes vented through pavement and road manholes. Loss of electrical power to local bars and businesses meant the closure of shops and evacuation of offices.

  • Wearing ear-defenders,military green camouflage and fluorescent tabard, a 'line' engineer from the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team, inserts his head into the jet pipe of a Hawk aircraft immediately after a winter training flight at the team's headquarters at a damp RAF Scampton, Lincolnshire. The man is a member of the team's support ground crew (called the Blues because of their distinctive blue overalls worn at summer air shows). Checking for irregular blemishes within the aircraft's exhaust is a vital aspect of maintenance jets whose engines need to perform as the highest level, especially if its performance, and that of each pilot's manoeuvres need to be perfect. Power reduction can ruin a display for tens of thousands of spectators but an engine failure could be catastrophic..

  • A Thames Water employee at the scene of another burst water pipe, weeks after the disastrous flooding in nearby Herne Hill, Denmark Hill was closed in both directions due to another burst water main in multiple locations across the road (A215) between the junctions of Champion Hill and Champion Park in south London. Water was seen running towards Kings College Hospital, 200 yards downhill and Denmark Hill is a major thoroughfare for the hospital's A+E.

  • Blue and red dye stains on the 'line' at RAF Scampton, Lincolnshire, home base of the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team. The spilled dye provides the team with their distinctive red, white and blue smoke (a vegetable dye and diesel fuel mixture) during their air show display routines. While on the ground, this non-toxic derv/vegetable dye is injected into a vacuum under pressure into the jets' modified belly-pod which in varying amounts of concentrate, gives off a smoke via three nozzles that point down into the jet's efflux, the exhaust that exits the jet pipe at 500°C. For a display, the pods hold enough dye for 5 minutes of white smoke, 1 of blue and 1 of red while the Synchro pair uses slightly more. 7,200 gallons of dye during the entire 2004 season and since 1965 they have flown over 4,000 such shows in 52 countries.

  • Three men stand at the thermal poolside wearing hygienic hats in Budapest's famous Széchenyi thermal bath. ..Having bathed in thermal waters that are piped through this health resort in the middle of the capital city, the men wear swimming costumes in the warm summer morning where hundreds flock to. Budapest is especially known for its spas just as Germany is. The Széchenyi Medicinal Bath  (Széchenyi-gyógyfürd?) is the largest medicinal bath in Europe. Its water is supplied by two thermal springs, their temperature is 74°C/165°F and 77°C/171°F, respectively. The bath can be found in the City Park, and was built in 1913 in Neo-baroque style to the design of Gy?z? Czigler.
