The picture set this week is about old aircraft. The first manned flight was barely a century ago, yet flying has become almost as commonplace as bus travel, not to mention being seen as the fastest growing cause of global warming. But for all the problems of mass air transport, it's impossible not to like old aeroplanes. Like cars, old planes seem to have so much more character than modern ones. They also make more interesting noises. The pictures come from last month's Shoreham Air Show, as well as the Tangmere Aviation Museum (2003), the Goodwood Revival (2006) and a field in Kent (1988).
