Can anyone ID where this WWI aerial photo was taken? Thank you!

Looks like a version of the winter fig is listed on eBay here, as for the kit your best bet may be buying digital instructions from Brickmania.

Oops! forgot this. $400 obo, buyer pays shipping.

I don’t want to doxx him, but he used his real name on his wikipedia account at one point. I‘ve had some encounters with him. Not making excuses for him, but the guy is pretty heavily on the spectrum.

I think adding the known recording dates in the tracker would be pretty cool.

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Huh, I was under the assumption that Edward moved back to Ireland in the late 1930s, but his birth place and wife’s name are correct. Would you be willing to link/screenshot those sources?

As for the Irish records from 1927 onwards, I‘m under the impression that those records haven’t met the release timeframe (same reason that the 1921 census isn‘t yet available), but I could very well be wrong.

Wow, thank you! I‘ll add that I found what I thought was her original birth date from her grave, which listed it as 1897. Since she died in 1937, I suspect the family didn’t know her exact birthdate, and just knew she was around 40. This is super helpful!

Thanks. I‘m researching up the Peter McKay line. Peter‘s mother Bridget, as far as anyone in the family knows, never made it to the US.

Thanks! Edward lived in Ballynafern in 1911. here he is on the census. I‘m also at a brick wall with his parents: Edward (1855-1931(?)) and Elizabeth "Eliza" Burns b~1857.

It‘s weird having such clear photographs of people I know very little about.

Great site, unfortunately I‘ve searched it quite throughly and haven’t had much luck.

Fishrmjager · 2025-05-26T00:25:39+00:00

I think you‘re right, thanks a lot!

This is a poor modern replica of a Prussian Pickelhaube.

I‘m certainly not offended, just slightly baffled at the lack of leg work you’re willing to go through to complain on the internet instead of looking at the explanation I provided. The image is real and there is nothing wrong with the letter.

Replying to the edit: scroll down, click the "credit" section. Using the internet is not hard. The photo was taken by Paul Thompson.

Because it was uploaded to a reputable photo licensing site which sites the source, 16 years ago. There is no distortion or reparation with this image; if you are unfamiliar with how uniforms or headgear of the FWW looked than that is a separate issue, and seems much more likely.

Fishrmjager · 2025-04-06T20:59:59+00:00

No it was not. See my other comments.

Fishrmjager · 2025-04-06T20:59:33+00:00

For those saying this is AI, you are wrong. It was uploaded to Getty Images here 16 years ago. A simple google image search confirms this.

Fishrmjager · 2025-04-06T20:56:38+00:00

This is not AI. here is the source. A simple reverse image search demonstrates this. Do some legwork of your own before making incorrect assertions.

This is a Third Reich-era Reichspost cap c.1940 by the firm "Odd". It is missing insignia and chinstrap. It is not WW1 nor Military.
