Isthis some form of new research? In fact, posting only the portion that is already known, but obfuscating the "Holy Grail" portion?
In short, if its such a find did exist, why would someone not show it, its not like we are asking for the original to be given away. Is there some notion of loss thiis person would experience?

In the collection of photos I have some that I have posted and others that I have been ask to hold on to because the owner asked not to publicly show it yet. I have a few unpublished photos too that I haven't shown yet either.
For me I can see why someone would want to protect what they have. Once someone posts a photo here everyone will have it.
The Aerodrome forum has come a long way, back in the day people were very hesitant to share anything. It took a lot to get where we are today here on the forum with people share their collections from photo, artifacts and documents. Being able to see just a closeup is fine with me and I have done the same to protect the photo.
Collections that someone has worked hard in attaining and sometimes a great cost to them is kinda hard to just give it a way for free. There are lots of photos that you will never see. Opp's
we will never see because they are in these private collections. We can just hope that one day some of them will end up in a book so all of us to look at.
