Fair use for Royal Observer Corps
I, Endrick   Shellycoat, feel this image is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:
 * 1) it illustrates one of only two Defensively Equipped Merchant Ships lost through enemy action in 1944 during Operation Overlord which resulted in the loss of life of ROC personnel. (OBS Salter, W.J.).
 * 2) it is not being used for commercial use, which is against the terms of use. See http://www.skylighters.org/copyright.html
 * 3) the image is only being used for educational and informational purposes.
 * 4) Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it portrays an image associated with the principle subject of this article.   Endrick   Shellycoat  08:20, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
