First sentence ? My reference to reading this elsewhere ?
the rest was cut & pasted and posted here as I thought it would be relevant to this thread.
Or are you referring to "censored?" If so I don't see a problem there. That's a question mark behind the word, no suggestion there.

Blimey here also
Simply chose that title to allude to what has happened.
I don't have an opinion about what level of censorship should apply. That is a subject which could be debated on here until the cows come home & doesn't light my bunsen burner.
Can we be friends now ?

To fuel the censoring debate(!), it appears Lajes in the Azores has been covered by a large white misty patch. Before some wag beats me to it, it's somewhat different to the usual cloud seen on Google Maps.

With reference to John Alcock's reply, Lajes is usually covered in low cloud with varying amounts of rain/drizzle. Especially last thursday after an overnight stop trailing the rest of the NA Tonkas to the States.

Some wonderful shots on this thread - it's just a shame that Google keep replacing some images so some planes are no longer there

Looks like they pulled a large part of eastern England too, south west of the Wash the whole area is pixellated.
Last time I looked Colt was still clearly visible, even down to the classic oil/fuel stains from leaking Jags.

Well it's all still clear on Google maps (just put Coltishall in a Google search and you should get an option to go to a map of Coltishall top left of the page).
Also still clear on Microsoft Local Live. Interesting comparing the two images clearly taken at different times.

60s jets in a farm yard
Hi my 1st posting so be gentle with me!
just outside Defford in Worcs is a large farmyard with several 1960s military jets parked up, anyone know the history and why they are there?

60s jets in farmyard
Hi
the ferm yard is on the A4140 opposite the junction with Eckington Road looks like a couple of De Havillands a Meteor and a single engined Piston

It is interesting that this location is not that far from the Defford Airfield at Crofts Farm (N52 05.22 W002 08.22), which itself is south of the disused wartime radar development airfield Blind Landing Evaluation Unit (BLEU).

VC10 SW of East Midlands
The thread on which this appeared has just been 'closed', but the speculation was that the '10 might have departed Rwy 09. It's not on either DTY SID track however, so my best guess would be that it's in the LIC RVC.
