1945 Operation Backfire Picture Archive

  << BIS Moon Landing Drawings        Image Archive Index        BIS Manned V2 Picture >>  

Note The format of the Image Archive Page is one where I have done much more than simply perform a technical update. Although the contents remain the same I have changed the page structure totally

IMPORTANT NOTE:
This is a technically updated version of the site as it was Hosted on GeoCities. Yahoo closed GeoCities on the 26th October, and this site needed to be protected from being lost (although the some of the site has been archived by: Internet Archive GeoCities Project Team it is incomplete).

As all efforts to contact Stephen O'Brien have so far been without result, I have taken the unusual step of mirroring the content, whilst making technical updates. Obviously without Stephen O'Brien's involvement this is not an acceptable long term solution. To assist in this, or to make comments on the site please
