Ok finaly got around to contacting my central county archives. they have large numbers of 6 inch to the mile and 25 inbch to the mile maps and a few 1 inch to the mile maps. They will provide electronic versions for a fee however they are playing silly buggers with copyright (although I may be able to get around that) . I will know more once I've sent some stuff in writeing to them.

Ok the OS maps of places outside the UK made during WW2 probably ended up at the imperial war museum although I haven't finished checking that. If we have wikipedians in London that could be helpful
The aerial photography done just post ww2 unfortunately ended up in the hands of English heritage in Swindon. If we have someone who knows how to deal with them it might be nice.

We're looking for 1945-1955 aerial photography here, I assume. Hmm. I don't know the guy in question, but I think I might know one of his colleagues there... would it help if I can find out a contact address and try to see what they have?
(Can we try and figure out what the copyright status of these would be first, though? My understanding is that CrownC material goes out of copyright fifty years after it's *published*, not after it's created...)

I've got bnoth I just don't have a great record of dealing with English heritage (they don't appear to be set up to deal with individuals

That is corrrect (although english heritage don't appear to know this). The trick is going to be figureing out which material there has been published and which will enter the public domain around 2080.

Someone got a letter from OS saying which 50-year period it was, didn't they? Clearly and unambiguously. I know we're clear 50 years after *publication*. I suppose it depends what counts as "publication."

I doubt there is much in the way of OS maps that have not been published. The photography stuff is different. Some stuff may have surfaced in archiology journals but it is the case that much has not been published (a lot is still film fortunetly I think they had stoped using Nitrocellulose by that point).

Prior to 1957 it is 50 years after creation:
