Original - The door used by Air Vice Marshall Sir Keith Park to reach the No. 11 Group Operations Room from his residence at RAF Uxbridge
Reason
This rather unassuming door was used during the Battle of Britain by Sir Keith Park to reach the No. 11 Group Operations Room in what is now known as the Battle of Britain Bunker. It is all that is left of the house he stayed in, which was demolished in 1996. I believe it has good encyclopedic value, includes all the subject and is of good quality.

  • Oppose. Unassuming can be a good quality, but not so much for an FP (except where it's the point, e.g. camouflage). The EV seems marginal to me (both the other photos in Keith Park are much better, for instance), and the quality isn't great (tilted, unsharp, fringing in corners). Composition very straightforward. --Avenue (talk) 11:23, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I'm sorry, but I don't think there is particularly high EV here. J Milburn (talk) 12:02, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Avenue. Sorry.--Mbz1 (talk) 19:54, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per J Milburn, but out of principle, I disagree with Avenue's complaint about the composition being straight forward. It is a door. That's what the photo is meant to say. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 20:26, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
