By Lisa Stansbie 2012

A collection of 20 framed original archive photographs documenting aeroplane crashes. The title is taken from the film Spitfire Beach (2010): “It was dusk as we stood in rows along the ancient pier on Spitfire Beach. Today the atmosphere was heavy with fate. The beach was often overwhelming in its silence, they said it was the ghost of past crashes.”
