    Hi All,

    I have a very old copy of Max Hastings 'Overlord - D-Day and the Battle for Normandy 1944' published in 1984. There are several photos in it, mainly from the British sector, credit to the 'BBC Hulton Picture Library'.

    A Google search appears to indicate that several present day image libraries have some of the photographs from this collection but I am wondering if the collection as a whole still exists?

    If it does, does anyone know it's whereabouts?

    Thanks,

    Pat

    Hello Pat,
    Sorry, missed this when you first posted it....
    The collection was bought by Getty and is part of their image empire, I believe.
    Cheers,
    Sean

    Thanks Sean,

    I had hoped it was still a standalone collection :(

    Regards,

    Pat
