I have attached a photograph from a family album that shows my father 4th from right back row, he has written underneath 'School of Aerial Photography-Farnborough March 1941' I have been unable to find any reference to the School of Aerial Photography on the internet, maybe someone can point me in the right direction?
Hello Jegon, This thread on another forum may offer an answer to your enquiries: http://forums.flyer.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=78621 CS
CS, Many thanks, that's the first reference I have seen to the SAP, apart from my photo. One of the posts at your link are from a chap who went through the course in 1940, so might get some interesting information from him. Jegon
I attended a course of Aerial Interpretation for Battalion Intelligence Officers at Cambridge in early 1944. It was excellent and provided me with a skill and a 'tool' that was of tremendous help in briefing officers and men when they prepared to attack enemy positions. The use of aerial photography was virtually equally to being able to under a detailed 'recce' Joe Brown. .
