DescriptionTed Heath is pushing a kite against the wind, which has the word Maplin written along its string; he is looking up at a windsock blowing out horizontally saying CAA (civil aviation authority).

From Telegraph obituary: "Heath was obsessed by large-scale vanity projects. His support of Concorde, and his plans for a Channel Tunnel and the development of a third airport (together with deep-water seaport) at Maplin, all continued until he lost power".
