my home airfield in the UK, until recently was not really visible at all on google earth because the resolution was so poor that individual towns were barely identifiable.
however a high resolution photo has now appeared but curiously seems to date from aboout 1998-99
but at my home the picture is not much more than 1 year old, and google maps and google earth are currently showing different age photos from each other.
where the pictures are the same I find that the google maps picture is a little clearer but have no idea why ?
