Folks,

This is a bit off topic and trivial but it would satisfy my curiosity so apologies and please bear with me.

Does anyone know the date of the British Helicopter Champs 2003 at Wyboston Lakes? The answer would tell me the date of the Google earth photos of my area.

Thanks

Cheers PPHeli

It shows at least 34 helicopters parked on the grass. I wondered why I never heard about it being a PPRuNer and a helicopter fan. It turn's out I was most likely in Arosa, Switzerland at the time which would explain why my car is not parked outside my car.

I'll see if I can spot my car at my parents house or Luton airport assuming they were taken on a similar date.

Thanks

DeepC

Edit: Car found at Parents House!

I've checked Google Earth and the photo has recently changed. No Helicopters at the lakes now! If you look at maps.google.co.uk you can see the photo with the helicopters.
