It is of North Wales and Manchester from 1946 designed for Civil Aviation use. More importantly it shows the range danger areas at the time. Brilliant, where are the rest? :)

Sadly, labelled as an experimental map, it never reached production. ]]> Research Media PNK http://www.airfieldinformationexchange.org/community/showthread.php?10616-Map-of-North-Wales-1946 http://www.airfieldinformationexchange.org/community/showthread.php?10614-Defence-Regulations-51-and-52&goto=newpost Mon, 06 May 2013 15:53:49 GMT Both created as part of the Emergency Powers Act (1939), my understanding of Defence Regulation 51, more commonly known as requisitioning, is that... Both created as part of the Emergency Powers Act (1939), my understanding of Defence Regulation 51, more commonly known as requisitioning, is that the Government (eg Air Ministry) could take over land or property with only 7 days warning with no appeal and no access was permitted except to authorised personnel. Defence Regulation 52 gave the authority to use the land or property but would allow access to the original owner and possibly the public at certain times.

Has anyone come across an easy to understand version of these regulations and dates when they were dropped? I assume the intention was to let them lapse shortly after the war ended but I suspect the indecision and uncertainty post-war meant the services were reluctant to release land in case they needed it back! This would mean various extensions to both DR51 & DR52. ]]> Research Media PNK http://www.airfieldinformationexchange.org/community/showthread.php?10614-Defence-Regulations-51-and-52
