River Thames From The Air
Taking photographs from a passenger plane is precarious at the best of times. Unpredictable aircraft movement, clouds, constantly changing light and the distortion from porthole glass offer less than perfect conditions for aerial photography. Unlike departing aircraft, there are no set routes leading to the final approach for aircraft arriving at Heathrow; neither are there any noise limits or fixed heights. This is because arriving aircraft approach in a random pattern and then have to be sequenced to ensure safe separation. These photographs were taken recently on board an internal flight from Manchester to Heathrow. Presented in the sequence they were taken it’s as if the river was acting like a beacon for the pilot. Look out for Battersea power station and other landmarks.

Fight To Save The NHS!
Thousands of demonstrators from across the UK marched through central London last Saturday calling for an end of the Tory butchering of the NHS. We must fight to save the NHS from destruction. The threat is real. It is happening now. Hospitals, GPs, mental health, ambulance and community services are on their knees.
Private companies are gaining an ever greater foothold within the NHS. Years of pay restraint has seen the value of NHS staff salaries reduce by 14% since 2010. The Government’s Sustainability and Transformation Plans are a smokescreen for a massive programme of hospital and community service closures, and are its latest instrument for privatisation.
The NHS is one of our greatest achievements. We cannot allow it to be undermined and ultimately destroyed. Here are some images from NHS campaigns in 2016/17.
