Located the National Resources Canada Aerial library where you can get just about any aerial photo from any period if you can figure out how to operate the interface. It's a little on the obtuse side. Perhaps this would help on any project. Looks like a paying proposition though :(

Hi Steve,

Am I missing something.... went to the link, zoomed in on Windsor, then the area around Wentworth Road crossing, selected the link for aerial photos, a window opened, asked for any photos from and time, and what I got was nothing available.

Where you able to get any aerial photos?

Some of these government site charge for prints but online photos are free.

Paul :-)

I got to the part where it wants to know what film roll, type of film or negative and all that jazz but I couldn't get it to show a photo.

I think that once you identifiy an area, then you indicate that area along with the era and they will search and find and then send ($$) it to you.

I've no found another souce for aerials so I'm pretty sure this is the only way now one could get their hands on them.

It is very obtuse isn't it?
