Photograph of RAF Rockgun atop the Rock of Gibraltar, taken in 2002. The limestone promontory rises steeply in the foreground, partially cloaked in Mediterranean vegetation. At the summit, the RAF Rockgun installation is visible—an array of radar domes, antennae, and communications equipment silhouetted against a cloudy sky. The structures appear weathered yet operational, evoking the site's strategic military role. Beyond the ridge, can be seen urban sprawl and the shimmering sea stretching toward the horizon. The muted light and overcast sky lend a subdued, almost cinematic tone to the scene, underscoring the site's historical and geopolitical significance

A restored de Havilland DH.87B Hornet Moth, registration G-ASLB, sits poised at Cranfield in the 1990s under soft afternoon light, its red fuselage gleaming with silver trim and white accents.

PZL P11c at Polish Aviation Museum in Kraków (Polish: Muzeum Lotnictwa Polskiego w Krakowie) seen in 2005, during a holiday. (see alt text for more details).
A preserved Polish PZL P.11 fighter aircraft stands in a sunlit museum hangar, its olive-green fuselage bearing the red-and-white chequerboard insignia of the Polish Air Force. Designed in the early 1930s, the P.11 was Poland’s primary fighter during the 1939 German invasion, symbolizing a valiant but outmatched defence against overwhelming odds. The aircraft’s high-mounted gull wings and exposed radial engine reflect interwar aviation design, while the number “39” on the wing and “2” on the fuselage hint at its squadron identity. Surrounding the plane are other vintage aircraft, a fire extinguisher, and an informational display, all contributing to a solemn tribute to Poland’s early WWII airmen and their technologically courageous yet tragically outpaced machines.
