Correct, the photographer holds the copyright.

Hi
It was described to me once by an employee of a major UK museum, that it aslo depends on who the photographer was paid by at the time of the photo, whose camera it was and whose film was used.

… and if you dare suggest a Brit got an idea from an American, you will be treated “less-than-gently”.

Hi
Nah the brit ex german scientists probably acquired the ideas from the US ex german scientists.:D:rolleyes:

The Americans probably got their design from a refugee German scientist anyway…;)

Hi

From stuff I’ve read at Kew, it’s clear that although the threat of high altitude invasion of British airspace by the Germans had receded, making the Welkin apparently redundant, it was still being considered as a possibility for use in the Far East.

Hence all those airframes held in MUs until 1946.

Hi
I can just visualize a welkin with tropical filters…and seac markings..
Now where is that model kit…:D

Here is something that you should find interesting. Army (Southern) Command held an anti-invasion exercise over six days starting 30th June 1941 in which the army co-operation squadrons took part. Special markings were devised so that troops could tell which were enemy and which were friendly fighters. 403 Squadron had recently transferred its Tomhawks to 26 Squadron. 26 Squadron hastily replaced the 403 Squadron codes with their own. It was decided that 26 Squadron would provide both enemy and friendly fighters for the exercise. Each aircraft would have the individual letter painted in black beneath the starboard wing inboard of the roundel and friendly aircraft would also have the port wing painted black underneath. Aircraft ‘D’ was coded ‘M’ with 403 Squadron and still retains the letter M in black under the nose.

Hi
There are also photos of lysanders with the same markings.
