Many thanks to you all.

CC to me has always meant Creative Commons, I'm sorry for clouding the issue with such ambiguity! Thanks for the the link to the OGL article. If I'm correct: files with an OGL license can be used on Wikipedia and her sisters; Crown Copyright, in general, can not. Crown Copyright runs out after 50 years.

I'll reword my request to Cadw.

Have a great new year all of you!

Exact crown copyright expiry is slightly messy. We generally use this flow chart:

FWIW I'd suggest historic wrecks are probably the stuff they have that would be of most interest (wikipedians have a hard time getting photos of them). The wrecks HMY Mary and Resurgam (especially Resurgam) are probably of greatest interest but whatever it is they've found in Cardigan Bay would also be useful.

The others listed at:

Don't have articles but there is enough material that they could be written.
