PHOTO RIGHTS & CREDITS
This page records where every photograph and film shown on this website comes from, and who holds the rights to it. It is a plain-language record, not a licence.
Short answer
Every image on this site is either owner-supplied material, presented as provided for this project, or a reproduction from a third-party period publication reached through the owner's source website. No image here is offered for reuse, and public-use rights review is pending for all of them.
Owner-supplied images
These photographs were provided by the car's owner for this project and are presented as supplied. They are part of the project record; formal documentation of permission, capture dates and any underlying rights is being gathered and has not been verified.
- The car as presented today (black-and-yellow livery)
Owner-supplied. Cover typography outside the vehicle has been cropped away; the lettering on the car itself is untouched.
- Museum display photograph
Owner-supplied photograph of the car on museum display, historic lettering and period sponsor graphics preserved as photographed.

Owner-supplied period photograph. Event, date and photographer remain open verification items.
- Period article imagery
Owner-supplied period article imagery, retained as part of the project record.

These images come from period and retrospective publications. Whatever route they reached this project through, the publications and their photographers keep their own copyright; showing them here is reference use, not a transfer of rights. Each links back to its source file in The Missile Files.

Film and video
The build-history film in The Missile Files is owner-supplied and shown as supplied; it is a narrative record, not an independent certification. The four videos referenced in the archive remain published on YouTube; this site links to them and loads them only on click, without asserting any rights over them.
