I saw that you had asked them about this on Twitter Andy, but assume you didn't get a response?
None.
They have now replied, insisting "We're not claiming copyright in the RAF images." [*]
Nonetheless, the result of right-clicking on, for example, the 1941 RAF image in my original post in this thread, whose copyright expired at the end of 1991, is an overlay saying "This image is copyright",false.
[*] Technically, they're not "claiming" it; but they are asserting that copyright remains in place; my original question was not "Why are you claiming copyright?", but "Why are you putting a "this image is copyright" interstitial, on right clicking, over 70+ year old RAF photos, when Crown copyright expires after 50 years?"
