Photographic history - budding RN photographers

Post by Thingy » Thu Oct 06, 2011 2:54 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

I have just been watching newsreel footage of naval ratings from the Fleet Air Arm learning to use LF reconnaissance equipment. Whilst this is of interest to those whose first encounter with medium (Hassy 500C/Ms*) & large format cameras (Crown Graphics & the cameras shown in the film) it should be of general historic interest.
