I was wondering if it was a policy to mask all mosquito front transparencies to disguise the fact that many bombs were dropped by guidance other than the bomb sight, like oboe for example.
A Warning!
I see pampa14 or whatever username he is using now, is up to his usual image theft. He copies images from around the internet and re-posts them as if they were his own, without giving credit to the original sites/owners. Just this past week he has posted the same images on at least three other forums under the usernames johnniewc68 and sjkfly4ever. He has been kicked off/banned from most modelling and aviation sites a few times. Someone thought that he may even get some monetary gain each time someone visits his site. He has been doing this for a few years now. I know that this is at the very least the eighth or ninth username he has gone under.
Just letting everyone know.

He hasn't said they were his own pictures but he also doesn't give credit to where he has acquired the pictures either. He has been doing this for a few years now. He has been caught using other peoples research and images that he has taken from other websites and publications.
Look at his stuff if you want. I just put a notice out there about his information.

Ive read somewhere that photos older than a certain age....40 years i think, are not protected by copywrite. might be wrong. not sure
In English law it is rather complicated and depends to a large extent when the photograph was taken. A photograph taken in modern times (after 1st August 1989) has a copyright the length of the life of the photographer PLUS seventy years.
Photographs made before 1st June 1957 are a little different. These photographs were originally protected for a period of 50 years from the end of the calendar year in which they were taken (regardless of whether they were published or not). If the photograph was still in copyright as of 1 July 1995 however, the period of copyright was extended to the life of the photographer plus 70 years. If copyright protection had expired before 1 July 1995, there was still the chance to "revive" the photograph. An eligible photograph would then be protected by the new term, ie the photographer's life plus 70 years.
The owner of a revived copyright is the former owner (ie the person who owned the copyright immediately before it expired). If that person died before 1 January 1996 or was a company that ceased to exist before 1 January 1996, then the revived copyright passes to the photographer or the photographer's heirs.
Phew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Per EU law the copyright was retroactively extended to life of author + 70 years although some countries like Italy or in scandinavia have shorter terms for very specific types of photographs.
