    This is a 393-years old Greenland Shark that was located in the Arctic Ocean. It's been wandering the ocean since 1627. It is the old living vertebrate known on the planet

    This day in 1944, Sgt Norman Jackson climbed out of his Lancaster bomber to put out a wing fire, while the aircraft traveled 200 mph at 20,000 feet.

    He fell (with parachute) after a German night fighter attacked. Survived, captured, and earned the Victoria Cross in 1945. #WW2

    One of those occasions that live in the memory, I was 10 years old but remember it seemed to go on forever. The gun carriage perhaps the most memorable feature of the day...

    The development of affordable international air travel contributed to the decline of seaside resorts in England in the second half of the 20th Century.

    The esplanade, the beach and the town, Weymouth, Dorset, August 1932


    The aerial photos can be seen in the new book England's Seaside Heritage from the Air, written by Historic England's tourism history expert Allan Brodie.

    "While writing this book, locked down and unable to visit the seaside, it was a pleasure to wander along England's coast via the thousands of images in the collection," he said.

    "The photographs hopefully capture the joys of our coastal resorts, including some fascinating features that alas no longer survive, as well as passing moments in the story of our seaside holidays."

    The Midland Hotel and the sea-front, Morecambe, August 1934


    The images give an insight into the history of coastal communities, and the relationship between transport and resort development.

    A photo of Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, shows paddle steamers moored at the end of the pier bringing in visitors.

    The pier, Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, August 1938


    In Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, an octagonal paddling pool was built on the beach by a local couple in 1921.

    I’ve had a crew-cut but the crew have started to bail out!
    Think someone shouted, ‘Abandon the aircraft’!
