Re: 13 Million UK Military Files Withheld Back to WW1

Your posts are certainly enlightening. The volume of archived material still held but not available in the public domain never ceases to amaze me.
Unless I am misunderstanding something here, or unless the newspaper reportage is incorrect, do I take it that this gentleman just applied to TNT to see the records that interested him and his request was granted by TNT? Presumably this request must have first been channelled through the MOD?
Might I just add that if the same "test" had been applied then to documents released by the RAF/Air Ministry/MOD to TNA (PRO) years ago that is being applied now, I rather suspect much of what we have available at Kew today would not be there and would never be released.
