70 years before drones
« on: October 27, 2021, 06:56:45 PM »
Skyfotos (since taken over by Fotoflite) in Kent started in 1946/7 and a decade on from then they had hired their first female photographer.
This sparked the interest of the "newsreels" of the day, that were shown between films at the cinema (colour) and on TV (in B&W), as here:

Ah, memories!

And for our Dutch/Flemish readers, an interesting article, also from 1959:

Skyfotos were very generous as I begged for photos from them ( I think I was around 10 years old, now 75) and I was posted many A4 size black/white photos in bundles totally free.  I still have them today, but sorry they are copyright before you ask.
