<strong>Up in the air: </strong>It was one of Whyld's first jobs as a photographer. He had to stand on the skid of a helicopter, suspended 3,000 feet in the air. <em>Pictured here: Whyld in 2003, the year he photographed the Concorde. This photograph was taken on his first-ever attempt at aerial photography, in a plane with his friend, who was training to fly at the time.</em>
