Sorted

Cooking up a storm-Chef Ben Ebbrell and Art Director Barry Taylor at work in the kitchen.
It's been a busy and fun week. Including photographing two of the 'Sorted' team for The Guardian. 'Sorted' is a new cookery book aimed at students, but with a video connection for the 'U-Tube generation'. I realised there was a gap in the market for something similar a few years ago when my daughter went off to University. Unlike the enterprising students who have produced 'Sorted' though, I didn't take things any further. The book is excellent-just how I had envisioned a survival manual for youngsters who are often living away from home for the first time. It breaks things up into bite sized chunks of information,(excuse the pun), and has a real sense of fun to the whole project which should appeal to students. I'm guessing quite a few parents will be buying one for their offspring before packing them off in September.

This is G-AMPY, one of a fleet of three Dakota DC3 aircraft owned by Atlantique Airlines of Coventry. I photographed passengers setting off in the vintage WWII aircraft for one of the last passenger flights it will undertake. Under new EC safety regulations the DC3 fleet would have to be fitted out with safety slides, oxygen masks and lockable cabin doors from July 15th
if they are to continue in a passenger carrying role. The cost of fitting that little lot, even if it was possible, would be prohibitive.

EC safety regs ! We know it's safe - it still flies!
Lockable doors - the curse of all modern trains and London buses - If I want to get off then I should be allowed to - even at altitude!
