The images in the site have produced a great deal of excitement as members of the public are able to access and zoom in to these excellent historical aerial images, and contribute information to them.

The team are pleased to report that day one of the launch saw 5,000 registered members and over 1 million webpage views.

Over 16,000 images were available in the site on launch day, and more images will be uploaded over the remaining 2.5 years of the project with all 95,000 images online by the end of 2014.

With the website live and underway, the Britain from Above team looks forward to the remainder of the project which will include various outreach activities over the coming years.

Once again a big thank you to those who visited the site, registered and are contributing information to the images. We are confident that this will add immensely to the Aerofilms images and the quality of the record.
