- Of course I checked perms before uploading, The image originated from the Royal Navy under the ‘ Open Government Licence’, NOT the newspapers copyright your google source suggested, the newspapers in question used the RN image under the same copyright licence, I believe that is acceptable? https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/-/media/royal-navy-responsive/images/news/ships/queen-elizabeth/170808-hms-queen-elizabeth-meets-up-with-us-carrier-group/mq170051031.jpg. Also, here is another Royal Navy image using the same licence: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lt_on_HMS_Diamond.jpg#mw-jump-to-license DNA Cowboy (talk) 08:38, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
