Can anyone help me locate a source of 1/7/16 aerial photographs? Particulalry looking for the Thiepval area, Wunderwerk, Leipzig Redoubt and Martinsart Wood areas. Any tips/contacts, pals?

The IWM photo library do indeed have the aerial photo archive used by the British Army in WW1, but it is indexed by map reference, so you will need those to access the photos. There are no prints available to view; you just order up what is there according to the index cards and hope for the best! I have had many 'misses' as well as hits; negatives poorly or incorrectly indexed, but the results are worthwhile. To get a good definition on the print, I would order as larger size as you can afford.
