Chris and Jim,

The provided link is not correct, there is an "I" missing. This is the correct link (I hope.....can't test it though, since the server is overcrowded......) :

http://www.evidenceincamera.co.uk/

I will wait a while before I go there....maybe all the others have gone by the time I get there

I've been waiting for a few days now for the link that Jimbrae sent us to work. Now I know why it hasn't.

I'm able to get in... kind off.

Seems they only have like 20 pics. Everything else you'll have to pay for? Not quite sure, hard to tell....

Got in. Some sample pics are ok, about the best is the image of the German pocket battleship Admiral Hipper taken at very low level.
They have one called the Tirpitz, presumably of the German battleship. The actual photograph is of a German destroyer. Pretty poor research on their part.

Yeah, not sure they should have put this website up before someone checked it out. On the "Market Garden" page they have a photo of Pegasus Bridge. It's really Pegasus Bridge (I compared it to some other photos I have) -- trouble is that bridge is over the Caen Canal in France and was captured and held by D Company, 2nd Oxfordshire and Buckingshamshire Light Infantry (Ox and Bucks) of the Air Landing Brigade, British 6th Airborne Division on D-Day.

Makes you wonder how many other errors on on these pages ... but the pics are still fun to look at.

I agree with eagle. Even if the pics are really good and in very well condition, the page is small, not organized, and plans to make money outta selling the pictures. Then if you do buy the access to the 5 million pictures, you will have hundreds of shots of open fields, so you can appreciate the beauty of grass seen from 3km of altitude
