• 1943 - An aerial photograph of Cardiff Docks which accompanied the Admiralty map book corrected to 31st December 1943. [001]


• 1943 - An aerial photograph of Penarth Dock and the Ely Tidal Harbour which also accompanied the Admiralty map book corrected to 31st December 1943. I have concerns regarding the date of this image in that it must have preceded the use of Penarth Dock as a U.S. naval base, where in October 1943 a U.S. Naval Advanced Amphibious Maintenance Sub-Base was established.
