Frozen in Time Gallery, Restored Old Aircraft Photographs

 

Some of you may know this collection, which includes the following photograph, a well known fake I'm told (pre photoshop at that)

According to the caption this was taken at Amberley and involved a bored RAAF pilot flying through a hangar, whereas the aircraft was actually up on jacks, which were carefully painted out on the resulting photo

Knew I'd find it somewhere in my travels. The relevant case may be King Features Syndicate Inc v O&M Kleeman Ltd [1941] AC 417 at 435 - 436 where Lord Wright noted "Where there is substantial similarity, that similarity is prima facie evidence of copying which the party charged may refute by evidence that, notwithstanding the similarity, there was no copying but independent creation." I probably wouldn't sleep particularly well putting that out there in the face of some powerful litigators.
