NB: Due to restrictions detailed in its copyright notice (specifically that its material is freely available only for personal use), Crown Copyright images obtained from the Ministry of Defence are not considered available under an acceptable free license. Because of this, a detailed fair use rationale has been added to the image to allow for its continued use on the English-language Wikipedia. However, should you wish to use the image for commercial purposes, you must first obtain explicit permission from the copyright holder.

If possible, an attempt should be made to determine if this image was published prior to 1956. If so, it would be public domain under the terms detailed at {{PD-BritishGov}}.
