We've not had direct contact with the Imperial War Museum, but it is something that I've had on the back of my mind for a while. The question in my mind is, is there a group of people that has specific interest in this content, and if so should this be made more of a priority?

Military history WikiProject. Of their sub projects http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history/Maritime... would probably have a significant interest.
At the present time British Military history tends to be illustrated by museum pics, stuff from the German archives, stuff from the US, very low res pics acquired from the IWM websites and rescans of images from the IWM published by third parties.
On the other hand from what I recall of dealing with the IWM way back they like to charge big time.
