Ok this is possibly a Storm force 10 bordering on violent storm 11 piece of geekery however whilst perusing the Google Earth 1940s aerial photos layer I noticed that RAF Brize Norton wasn't anywhere to be found. If the internet is to be believed (and lets be fair here, it's never been wrong before) Brize was built in 1937. The aerial pic shows the neighbouring RAF Broadwell (43-47) but no Brize. I can't see an obvious join in the imagery so I can only assume it must've been taken up in an early Rapture. Any other slightly more far fetched ideas as to where Brize is/was....?
