Fellow Contributors, Notwithstanding Phil's expert input, I hope the following will protect me: The default licence for most Crown copyright and Crown database right information is the Open Government Licence. I am not reproducing images from the NA Image library. I have made my own images of docum...

Gentlemen, I have often wondered if there are still unpublished documents somewhere in the MoD archives. The british Government have always been 'cagey' about releasing stuff to the public and seem to have made great use of the 'Secret', Top Secret' and 'Not to be published for X number of years' s...

Fellow Contributors< I believe Phil may correct about Government created images , but my images were created by me with a phone camera and there are no restrictions over the use of phone cameras at Kew. For high quality rostrum camera images created by the staff there a charge is made to cover thei...

. Unfortunately "fair usage" is an American legal term/idea, even though there is VERY LIMITED ability to use it in the UK - one should be aware that US law does not apply abroad. The Crown Copyright is very strict. (Academic institutions have slightly more freedom on copying and usage - b...

The "forum" works like any human civilization does , based on everyones qualities and merits, that, in this instance, can only be known - for the vast majority of us - through the written language (English in this case), that everyone is using to formulate arguments. Therefore, the capaci...

Duncan, this type of requests 'show us the evidence', etc, is not polite and not in line with what is going on the forum. I suggest you take a look at my historical posts (and everybody else's) about the uncertainty of Bismarck's output, and in the mean time let's get back to the subject topic. Oh ...

. Alberto, Your claim that ".... All data presented points to the fact that PoW and KGV were almost at the same level of completion when commissioned ..." fails as you have not demonstrated the facts, merely quoted dates. You need to provide proof. Yet again you ignore your obligation to g...

@Alberto As you ignored my post, I will repeat (with slight addition) ; No one is under any obligation to provide information to confirm, or deny, your assumptions. You make claims without proper information and then ask others to to present data ! This is wrong. You ignore the data given (e.g. abou...
