Interesting. What I see on two different computers and on my phone is:

Can anyone else see the interactive image back in reply #18?

What I can see of reply #18 is, under 1942, a monochrome aerial photograph, of the radar station, captioned C/311.1.PRU 30.8.42 F/14. However that image doesn't appear to be 'interactive', based on how I would define that word.

Try clicking on it, should zoom. Then click again, zoom further. That's the theory - works for me  ;D

Ah, now I understand. Yes, I can zoom in and out, oddly a - sign indicating zoomed in and a + sign indicating zoomed out. However there's not a lot of difference between being zoomed in and zoomed out and I can't zoom in or out more than once (i.e. if I click on the image I zoom in, but if I click again I zoom out)!

EDIT: I'm learning! I've now found, if I left click on the photograph,  the equivalent of a 'volume bar', which allows me to drag a cursor between - and + signs to achieve degrees of magnification between the two extremes. Isn't technology wonderful!

Cracked it! I use a JavaScript blocker and it was blocking something called SmartFrame.io, unblock it and the image appears.
