As Bomber H has stated, the SHAR F95 was SFO and we had two lenses; the normal one for standard low-level phots and another with a longer focal length for high-level work. This was only rarely used, as the resolution of the 2 1/4" square wet negs using the standard lens was amazingly good.
As as a matter of course, we took vert shots of Stanley airfield (often on a daily basis) on our way to/from CAP at around 25,000'. These were passed to the Army Photographic Interpreter on Hermes for analysis, although I was also PI trained (don't ask!) and managed to find a few things that he missed! The best one was a target that he identified as "rows of penguins" near Fox Bay; they were, in fact, hundreds of 40gall barrels of fuel! Didn't half burn well after No1(F)'s first attack.
