Hi.

I would be grateful if someone can tell me who has the copyright for the 172 pictures?

The Air International drawings would be copyright with the current publishers

It would be worth getting touch with Aerospace Bristol to access the original GA. drawings for the types

if this is pre-Air International going to Key Publishing, then it was part of the archive that was transferred to Aerospace Publishing. They in turn entered administration in 2012 and all of the archive was sold to pay the administrators by auction, so some lucky person now has the relevant section of the archive in their private hoard.
