Not really geanological, but interesting post from LANCSGEN list
http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index?list=lancsgen

The following link is advertised in a story in the Daily Mail website (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2164074/Britain-Above-Thousands-historic-aerial-photographs-online-time-today.html ) - regarding a collection of aerial photographs being assembled from the skies of Great Britain. Here's the link to the actual website - http://www.britainfromabove.org.uk/galleries

The photographs contained on it range from 1919 - 1953, cover many counties and also includes a gallery where they are requesting help on identifying where/what some of the pictures are of. This is also an ongoing project which will be updated on a regular basis.

That's quite interesting, thank you mgnv.

if you plough through the 'flights' you can identify areas which may be relevant to you.
