Gainesy, well,, that will be good old Spadadam ranges up in those thar hills....... As a nipper I used to stand in my primary school playing field and watch the smoke rise, listen to the roar and feel the ground tremble as they tested the blue streak rocket motors...... and I was even a couple of miles further away than the hills in that image show. I finally got to see one in real life when I visited the National Space Center in Leicester just down the road from me now, well worth a visit.

As for Photos, well NEVER take anything in them as defactor these days as everthing could have changed LOL here is the image you saw after I cleaned it up somewhat to declutter the background, as you can see there are some other hills that simply do not exist and the fuel farm has now dissapeared too, simple to do really.
