Those are superb images. I wonder if the IWM could be persuaded to release the sheets of images of the signs in colour - it would add enormously to their value. Mike

In this case I suppose it could be up to you or MH331,since you are UK-based to try and see if the IWM is open to do what you have suggested. Jo
