style="color:black">Amazing. Sounds like a similar
cache to what's held at Bodelian in Oxford. This
collection of images was acquired by RAF over British
Colonies, and other nations, in order to make ordnance
survey maps. There's over 500K images there. I've
explored it once, and
found/scanned/composited/georeferenced/tiled Nairobi
from 1961. As it was just 50 years, it was out of
copyright (copyright in the case of these images is
presumably owned by the country they were acquired in,
even if they were then a colony).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
