Andy,

I am aware that in Firefox, you can hold shift and right click to bypass custom right click prompts. There are extensions for Chrome which can perform similar actions. It may also be worth contacting Historic England and enquiring about the issue, so they can rectify it.

There has been much in the press and social media in recent days about
a new "Aerial Photograph EXplorer" made by Historic England [1]. It is
indeed a treasure trove of aerial photography, including the Aerofilms
archive, much RAF imagery, and more recent equivalents.

Some of the material on the site, particularly RAF imagery made before
30 June 1957, is out of copyright [2] and could be uploaded to
Wikimedia Commons. However, trying to save those images from their
individual pages (by right clicking, in Windows) results in an
interstitial stating "This image is copyrighted" [3].

copyright term of 50 years from creation." -
