New UK visual resource found. NCAP

This may be old hat to some, but I'd never encountered it. It self-funds primarily through showing where WW II bombing impedes development.

About

What is NCAP?

NCAP is the National Collection of Aerial Photography. It is one of the largest collections of aerial imagery in the world, containing tens of millions of aerial images featuring historic events and places around the world. It is the role of NCAP to collect and secure the future of these records, both digital and physical, to preserve them for generations to come, and to make them as accessible and available as possible. Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, our operational and development costs are funded through commercial enterprise.

What We Hold

 

An internationally significant cultural asset, NCAP holds over 26 million aerial photographs covering places throughout the world. The vast majority of the photographs have been declassified and released by the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence and were taken during the Second World War and the Cold War. NCAP also holds the largest collection of both military declassified and non-military aerial photographs covering Scotland. Find out more about our Collections.

To get the good stuff (zoomable images), you're going to need to pay them a small annual fee or fees, depending on your needs.

All in all, I'm very impressed.

John Kettler
