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

WMUK
Military history WikiProject. Of their sub projects
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history/Maritim…
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.
