  • Six months after the fall of the Berlin Wall, a Trabant car sits wrecked on the corner of Mollstrasse and Hans-Beimler-Strasse in east Berlin (former DDR), on 1st June 1990, in Berlin, Germany. The DDR-produced Trabant suffered poor performance, but its smoky two-stroke engine regarded with affection as a symbol of the more positive sides of East Germany. Many East Germans streamed into West Berlin and West Germany in their Trabants after the opening of the Berlin Wall. It was in production without any significant change for nearly 30 years. The name Trabant means "fellow traveler" in German.

  • A police officer looks over stormy waves wich crash over the super-structure and funnel of the Liberian-registered MV Braer oil tanker, spilling 84,700 tonnes of crude oil into the North Sea, on 7th January 1993, in Quendale Bay, Shetland, Scotland, UK. It sits below its water-line with crude oil leaking from its ruptured tanks after running ground in hurricane force winds, beaching itself on these rocks in Quendale Bay, west of Sunburgh Head, the Shetland Islands, Scotland. In fast-fading light, this ecological disaster occurred in a beautiful region of Great Britain affecting much native wildlife although the Gulfaks oil the Braer was carrying is lighter therefore more biodegradable and able to disperse better than other North Sea crude.

  • On a partially-demolished building, a mural of the ancient  Goddess Nike remains chipped and scraped on an old restaurant wall. Nike was the Goddess of Victory to whom Olympic athletes made offerings and prayers at the Temple of Zeus before competition but this site is in the heart of the modern town of Olympia that has grown up around the birthplace of athletics, amid the woodland of ancient Olympia where for 1,100 continuous years, the ancients held their pagan festival of sport and debauchery. The modern games share many characteristics with its ancient counterpart. Corruption, politics and cheating interfered then as it does now and the 2004 Athens Olympiad echoed both what was great and horrid about the past.

  • Taken six months after the fall of the Berlin Wall, a German lady from the old German Democratic Republic (DDR or GDR) looks back over her shoulder nostalgically at an abandoned Trabant car on a sunlit street in eastern Berlin, once in the eastern zone before the Communist-inspired Berlin Wall was breached in November 1989. Blocks of modern East German-designed flats line the street and a tram line can be seen in the middle of the highway. The DDR-produced Trabant suffered poor performance, but its smoky two-stroke engine regarded with affection as a symbol of the more positive sides of East Germany. Many East Germans streamed into West Berlin and West Germany in their Trabants after the opening of the Berlin Wall. It was in production without any significant change for nearly 30 years.

  • A wall mural of WW2 bombers crossing the sky and wreck of a Rolls-Royce at the former RAF Hethel air for base in Norfolk, England. Built during 1942 for use by the Americans and was transferred to the USAAF from 14 September 1943 though to 12 June 1945. Hethel served as headquarters for the 2nd Combat Bombardment Wing of the 2nd Bombardment Division. The group flew B-24 Liberators as part of the Eighth Air Force's strategic bombing campaign.  Strategic objectives in France, the Low Countries, and Germany included targets such as shipbuilding yards at Vegesack, industrial areas of Berlin, oil facilities at Merseburg, factories at Münster, railroad yards at Sangerhausen, and V-weapon sites in the Pas de Calais. After the war, the buildings reverted to agricultural and industrial use.

  • Rotting in the undergrowth near the harbour at Newport, Pembrokeshire, North-east Wales, lies an old rowing boat. The timbers are succumbing to the weather and tidal waters of the River Nevern and the boat is barely afloat in the waterlogged terrain. Weeds and other vegetation is gradually overtaking its integrity and its wooden frame is host to an abundance of plant and wildlife. It can no longer serve as a vessel of the river as it is a wreck that nature is reclaiming and soon to hide completely from view.

  • A young boy wearing his school uniform kicks the door of a burned out car that was set alight by vandals beneath the infamous Divis flats of the Catholic Lower Falls Road, West Belfast, on 7th June 1995, in Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK. The Divis Tower was a flashpoint area during the height of the Troubles. Nine year-old Patrick Rooney a child of a similar age to this lad, was the first child killed in the Troubles, killed in the tower during the Northern Ireland riots of August 1969.

  • Detail of a rusty Wartburg 312 car standing at the kerbside in an eastern Berlin district. A sticker with the letters DDR as the German Democratic Republic (DDR in German and GDR in English) as East Germany was called during the Cold War. Any car was a highly-prized possession when ownership of luxury goods like vehicles aroused suspicion for other than Communist Party officials. This car may have been someone of rank or influence. The GDR was a self-declared socialist state, referred to in the West as a "communist state" in the Soviet Sector of occupied Germany created after the second world war and partitioned when DDR leaders built the Berlin Wall that eventually segregated Germany and Europe. The East Germany state existed from 7 October 1949 until 3 October 1990 and was a potent symbol of a divided Europe during the Cold War...

  • Forensic investigators and police officers stand on the wreckage of The Marchioness pleasure boat, on 20th August 1998 on the river Thames in London, England. The Marchioness disaster resulted in a fatal collision between two vessels on the River Thames in London on 20 August 1989, which resulted in the drowning of 51 people. The pleasure steamer Marchioness sank after being pushed under by the dredger Bowbelle, late at night close to Cannon Street Railway Bridge. (Photo by Richard Baker / In Pictures via Getty Images)

  • A young boy wearing his school uniform looks traumatised standing next to a burned-out shell of a saloon car that was set alight by vandals beneath the infamous Divis flats of the Catholic Lower Falls Road, West Belfast. He wears a red jumper which contrasts the blue graffiti paint on the wall behind him and the charred ground at his feet. He is alone, a young boy experiencing childhood through the traumas of a violent world Divis Tower was a flashpoint area during the height of the Troubles. 9 year-old Patrick Rooney a child of a similar age to this lad, was the first child killed in the Troubles, was killed in the tower during the Northern Ireland riots of August 1969,

  • Wrecked property in a flooded caravan park in the north Welsh coast community of Towyn, UK. On the fence is the reminder of what this summer holiday site would normally be like, where owners remind holidaymakers not to hang their washing on the broken fence. A combination of gale-force winds, a high tide and rough seas caused Towyn's flood defences to be breached at about 11.00am on 26 February 1990. 4 square miles (10 km2) of land was flooded, affecting 2,800 properties and causing areas of the resort to be evacuated.

  • A portrait of an executive from the Baltic Exchange holding a framed photo of what the trading institution before it was wrecked by the IRA terrorist bomb nearby in St Mary Axe in the City of London. On 10 April 1992 at 9:20 pm, the façade of the Exchange's offices at 30 St Mary Axe was partially demolished and the rest of the building was extensively damaged in the Provisional Irish Republican Army bomb attack. The one-ton bomb was contained in a large white truck and consisted killed three people. Too heavily damaged, a full restoration of the premises was ruled out and the hall was completely razed in 1998. The Baltic Exchange is the world's only independent source of maritime market information for the trading and settlement of physical and derivative contracts.

  • Looking out to the Mediterranean Sea from the Akrotiri Peninsular, Cyprus, we see the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team, practising their display finale, the Vixen Break, a show-stopping manoeuvre of their 25-minute air show display routine. A rusted and crumbling hulk of a ship lies in the shallow surf and the Hawk jets used by the Red Arrows fan out above it using red, white and blue smoke. It is a calm sea near the shoreline and the shipwreck's remains provide a sad foreground to the dynamic flying beyond making a graphic landscape. 'Datum' is an axis on which the Red Arrows focus their displays, from where the whole show is visible at the crowd's centre. 'The Wreck' is but one of a series of datum points selected by the team leader at short notice to simluate diverse geographical features and wind directions. The wreck is the MV Achaios. Built in 1932, it was on a voyage from Yugoslavia to Jeddah in 1976 with a cargo of timber. She ran aground in a storm at Akrotiri Peninsula, but no lives were lost.

  • A crushed scooter lies on the road after having been knocked over by a white delivery van in central London with a passing NHS ambulance in the capital's West End. The juxtaposed ambulance and bike are merely coincidental, the ambulance having just passed-by unconnected to the incident of which there was apparently no rider or victim. Still, the damage to the bike is severe with the weight of the vehicle pressing down on the small scooter whose owner is perhaps elsewhere, soon to discover the wreck of his/her bike.

  • A detail of poetry and sentences forming 'Graveyard of Lost Species', a boat artwork created by by artists and commissioned by Arts Catalyst, at low-tide on the Thames estuary, at Leigh creek, on 10th September 2019, in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, England. The project celebrates the local tradition of wrecking boats on the salt marsh, its decaying memory of what has changed or passed. The boat is the 'Souvenir', a 39-foot Thames 'bawley' (1933) which once served the local fish trade in nearby Southend-on-Sea.

  • 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..

  • An English Electric Lightning supersonic jet fighter aircraft of the Cold War era sits in an industrial wasteland on the side of the A1 motorway in England. Parked in a take-off attitude, the wreck is now covered with graffiti though once the forefront of Britain's nuclear deterrent. The Lightning was noted for its great speed, the only all-British Mach 2 fighter aircraft and was the first aircraft in the world capable of supercruise. The Lightning was renowned for its capabilities as an interceptor; pilots commonly described it as "being saddled to a skyrocket"

  • In mid-day heat of the arid Arizona desert, a complete set of main landing gear undercarriage stands upright amid a field of similar items from airliners at the storage facility at Davis Monthan, Tucson.
