What she showed me, will all be scanned and put up on the internet!!!
Her uncle was Erwin Hillier, the director of photography on the 1954 Dambusters film (as well as many other famous films).

The photographs are wonderful 8x10 B/W production stills, about 20 odd of them. Here are the first 4 I have scanned and uploaded. I am not sure if they have ever been in the public domain before??
Sorry, they are bit BIG! Also look at the 'damage' on the trailing edge!




Anyone any ideas?
