For operational reasons Historic England bases its aerial survey aircraft at Oxford airport. These operational reasons include ideally located in a central part of southern England for survey flights, air traffic control cover during daylight hours, has secure hangarage, full time fire cover and access to aviation support services. Consequently, we have no option but to use the services provided by Oxford airport including aviation fuel, parking, hangarage, touch 'n' goes, landings and de-icing.
The value is an estimated maximum cost and is likely to be an overestimate. The costs will fluctuate from year to year based on the costs of fuel and the amount of flying that HE aerial survey team can complete given the weather conditions.
This contract should be linked to the In-Tend contract for the HE aircraft P/REF 00000017.
Historic England seeks to commission a range of sector organisations to produce case studies that will be used within our e-learning courses to support learners within the sector to develop knowledge and confidence in the management of the historic environment through the planning system.
From March to September 2023 Historic England is touring an outdoor photography exhibition that celebrates the high street and encourages people to visit them called Picturing High Streets (PHS). Picturing High Streets is a landmark national photography commission that sees Historic England working with Photoworks and an England-wide group of photography agencies with GRAIN Projects, Impressions Gallery, Open Eye Gallery, PARC (Photography and the Archive Research Centre), Photofusion, QUAD/FORMAT, Redeye, ReFramed and The Photographers' Gallery. The yearlong call out via https://www.instagram.com/PicturingHighStreets/ asks people to send in photographs responding to a fortnightly challenge.
