I remember a few years ago when I ran a "British Jet Engine" website, I had scanned and reproduced several diagrams from the Rolls Royce book "The Jet Engine". After a couple of years I got a nice email from Rolls Royce pointing out that the diagrams belonged to them but they acknowledged that my web site was a non commercial enthusiasts site. They said that if I asked formally to publish the diagrams and annotated them "© Rolls Royce Ltd" then I could continue using them. They were very good about it.
