As I said earlier I snapped happily for many years and glad I did. The pictures were not intended for gain, nor did I plan to publish. I just hope service charities can eventually benefit from my efforts in addition to recording some images which would otherwise now be lost. I knew what I could photograph because I briefed many visitors to the squadron about the "rights and wrongs". I avoided the subjects to be avoided and also helped out with some snaps to assist "the authorities". And I do know the "no photographs on base" rule but the UK is not Greece thank goodness.
I still say that photographs are the lifeblood of an organisation. In this day and age, a system which tries to roll back the waves will wither.
Lets be sensible. Enforce OPSEC but encourage public relations.
