Yep, the site is very good re copyright, and yes the image copyright DOES belong to the Photographer / Owner, though as said it can be a hard job proving it is yours. I know because we fell found of it several years ago when one of my images was lifted off here and appeared in a well known newspaper. That was sorted amicably by all parties and the site info was rewritten to clarify the point.

The problem with the net is it can be a minefield and you have to be careful where posting, some of the well known sites that host pictures in their terms state you in effect waive your copyright rights to them, when you sign up in the blurb. So be aware of that too. A lot of sites do post pictures where original copyright cannot be found, but add a proviso that if any belong to you, contact them and they will remove them if requested.

But when as in this image Coff has put credits, it's not Coff one should be complaining to, but the site that hosted it, and if it is Aeroplane Magazines, then that's Key Publications.
