Danesfield House's Wartime Role.
This Paining depicts the Role Played by Danesfield House when it was requisitioned for use as the Centre for the Study of Arial Photographs taken of Enemy Positions at Land and Sea.
The book 'Spies in the Skies' by Taylor Downing tells the whole story of the work carried out there by the thousands of Photo Interpreters and secretarial staff billeted in the house & grounds from aircraft based at RAF Benson nearby.
The following group of poor quality photos were taken in the Hotel in difficult lighting.

Very enjoyable read. I assume you've got a small manageable camera, I think that I would struggle with my SLR, one handed on occasion!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment.
ReplyDeleteI only have a small Canon Camera which I keep on a lanyard around my neck.
I have to leave it switched on when I want to take photos and its a quick, Up Snap and let go so that my hand is not off of the wheel for long. I have 2 rechargeable batteries.
Mind you in the 22 days of my Around Britain Trip I took 4700 snaps most of which were taken this way.
There were lots of blurred ones and many with telegraph poles and fence posts in the centre.
The control buttons are at the back where I have to hold it so the settings get altered from time to time.
I am setting off on my next Charity Run on 29th for 11 days with a fair bit of town & city driving this time, so I was getting in a bit of practice.
It won't be so easy to steal a snap on the move in towns.
Best Wishes
