- Support -- Fantastic photo composition, especially for the eraA. C. Santacruz (talk) 18:13, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- Support Not the highest resolution, but OK for the era. Really a great capture. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:17, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment I just realized there may be an issue with the copyright status of this image, if it was not first published in the US. For a regular UK image, this would only become PD in 2027, as the photographer died in 1956. However, the article did mention he was a reconnaissance photographer for the Royal Naval Air Service, so if it falls under Crown Copyright, then it is PD-UK. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:24, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Thanks. Let me know if there are issues. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:52, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
SupportYes, it's a fantastic photo, and it's more than 100 years old, so it would be a travesty if it were still under copyright. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:01, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
Changing to Oppose per Adam, now that I know all that resolution is possible.-- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:36, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment It's rather low resolution. Surely we can get a higher resolution one? If I go to [1] I can zoom in quite a lot more than this copy allows. Also, I'd like to get the copyright sorted first. Oppose, but would support if fixed. Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:06, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- Support Daniel Case (talk) 04:29, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Wonderful photo, but if we can get more resolution, we should do. --Aristeas (talk) 11:32, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- Support @Aristeas: @Adam Cuerden: @Koavf: @King of Hearts: @Ikan Kekek: I uploaded the full-res version. vip (talk) 15:59, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- I did some digging, re: copyright. This site explains that many soldiers took photographs that they registered for copyright. Some This page claims that the heirs have a copyright, but you know how these things go and there is also an extensive history of the photo that doesn't mention registration of the image. Some good faith searches yield nothing. Per Commons:Copyright rules by territory/United Kingdom and w:en:Crown copyright, this may be public domain 50 years post-publication. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:05, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- See also File:UK Crown copyright flowchart.pdf and File:UK non-Crown copyright flowchart.pdf for some very readable flowcharts on how copyright would apply. Were these held in copyright, then they would not be in the public domain in the UK for a few more years. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:10, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- Full Support for this magnificent picture from pioneering days of aerial photography (despite not clearly determined public domain). -- Radomianin (talk) 17:47, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- Support I'm reinstating my support, though a digitally restored version could be even better. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:29, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
