Early aerial photographs of Britain - madcat - 26.06.2012

I saw this on the News last night about a team restorers have gone through a painstaking process of conservation and cataloguing many of the earliest aerial photos of Britain and published them online.

Examples include aerials photos of the 1935 FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium; the Thames Flood of 1947 in which over 100,000 properties were affected; Blackpool in 1920; crowds on the banks of the River Clyde watching the first voyage of the newly-built RMS Queen Mary in 1936.
