According to The Times, Monday, Mar 30, 1925; pg. 12; Issue 43923; col C The Aerial Camera In Survey Work. A Practical Step, The Aircraft Operating Company took over AeroFilms in 1925 and moved the Aerofilm's offices to Hendon --Senra (talk) 09:30, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The phrase "...largest and most significant number of air photographs of Britain taken before 1939" concerns me. It appears it might have been taken from the English Heritage web site. Whilst the phrase might be true, unless it can be properly cited, I feel the phrase should be removed. I considered quoting it and citing English Heritage but as the English Heritage page is not authored I feel this would be wrong too. I have already removed some of the WP:PEA terms from the enclosing paragraph --Senra (talk) 10:38, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've opened a thread at Commons:Commons:Village pump/Copyright on the current copyright status of the images taken more than 70 years ago, i.e. currently pre Dec. 1943

It seems that images from pre 1943 not from deriving the new website -- eg from old books, prints, postcards etc -- are probably copyright expired (creation + 70, unknown author).

"Conserved" images from the new website may have new copyright as a result of the conservation (so may not be acceptable on WP) -- but the position in different jurisdictions, particularly the U.S., could use some clarifying. Jheald (talk) 17:58, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
