All photos of the military and policemen over here are illegal. So naval
ships, aircraft, barracks, soldiers .... cannot legally be snapped. If you
do take a photo, as I have, you may be asked to donate the film and any
prints to the Queen as these belong to her, if you take a Warship during a
war, like the Falklands, you could face a firing squad. This can apply at
other times.
I have recently become acquainted with these laws.

Mmm ... if you are the government it's quite easy.
There are quite a few military bases where taking photographs (even from
"outside the wire") is illegal and can indeed get your collar felt. FOr
isntance, taking photos on board HMS Victory is still a criminal
offence!!!!!
At least in the US freedom is a lot better defined than it is over here.
