Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

edwest2 and Snautzer.

I have an extensive archive of downloaded photos of Luftwaffe aircraft from old ebay auctions on my hard drive which I would gladly share publicly if I could find a suitable stable website. I initially intended to use Photobucket but

Google drive would be a good choise

I found some discussion groups but they seem to spring up and then quickly wither with monotonous regularity.

Have you tried with Flickr? Marc-Andre has his archive there since a couple of years and it seems quite stable. You can upload several photos at once too.

No, there were two very small pre-series: the Do 217A and the Do 217C.

I considered Flikr a few months ago but it seems that since they were bought out by Fantastic Fox Inc. they now only want photos actually taken by the account holder.

Their rules include: "Don't upload anything that isn't yours. Accounts that consist primarily of such collections may be deleted at any time."
In their FAQ I found: "Posting photos that you didn't take isn't allowed on Flickr. Accounts are deleted without warning for doing so."

Notice: Once a photo sells, ebay will replace it with some random photo.

It is disappointing that ebay deletes photos when they no longer need them, but it is a business and there is no profit in keeping sold items active.

Re: eBay: German intrest

Good point, Steven, about ebay, but they have made a few unannounced changes which are not helpful. In the case of a seller, there is now a screen that looks like it was prepared for stock market reporting, not the average person. When I called about this, I was told I could not get the old, simpler, easy to use screen back. Paypal has made a few unnecessary changes as well. Oh well.
