Historic Aerial Photo Resources

Another Canmore update (I think it's new anyway).

There now appears to be a load of new 1940s stuff added and the coverage of airfields is excellent. The years range from 1941 to 1943 and cover both vertical and oblique. Leuchars, Kinloss and Lossiemouth have excellent coverage over the three years and there is even Abbotsinch in its grass days. There is plenty more to view and I would urge you to pay for a subscription to be able to zoom in on each frame. Sadly I haven't found much on Bombing Ranges except for the Braid Fell Factory Target from 1941 which looks like it was in the process of construction.
It is obviously worth keeping an eye on the site as this is the second huge update this year.

One I picked out for posting was this (via link)

It appeqars to show a "new" airfield. The view is taken looking towards Tentsmuir Forest looking north east. It can't be Leuchars so it must be a dummy site and it certainly looks that way when you zoom in.

let's hope the TNA will come up with such access. Ha! Ha! With the recent budget announcements I expect things to get worse not better.

The down turn has already started with the introduction of £5 parking fee that is £5 up from £0

So far.........

Following on from Petertheeater's Google Earth reference, you can also view reults of searches via KML files for example,
Location, Sortie number, Year etc.

Parking at the NMR is still free.

Well believe it or not, parking at the TNA is free until the 14th, then f-word £5!!
