Look on the main runway on this photo. The plane landing is caught in sequence by the satellite and appears on several shots.

Some of the images on Google Earth are old. This one was taken during the Blitz. It was underreported at the time, but I think everyone is agreed on the issue of bombing Huntingdon.

****hole.

So that's the explanation for seeing three aircraft on the same landing runway .... I was just about to post a question on the very subject ...

So what isn't shown here? Or did the satellite just glitch?

Poor old RAF Turnhouse, it looks trashed and run down.
I remember it as a cracking little hold during flying training.

If no image on Google Earth, check the aerial photo on Multimap. No flying saucers - a great disappointment.

(Search here for 'Hanwell' if link above doesn't work)

Must be being a bit of a monkey with my GE programme but have been cutting and pasting some of the lat and longs and the resolution on the images is pants. Any idea what the problem could be......

Some areas of Google Earth are displayed in high resolution, these are usually areas of high population density.

Therefore, I thought it strange that Area 51 (Groom Lake) is displayed in high resolution when everything else around it is isn't.

Would not have liked to have the little pink bod over here during the Cold War, High altitude, no DAS and a looong way from home.

Slightly off tangent, but still related to Google Earth.

I am trying to get it installed on my intranet machine at work - would be useful for planning and all that guff in lieu of Falcon View. Having put my 4 page business case in for a free bit of software off the internet , was told, yes you could have it if it could be obtained through IGS. Now our IT section have no idea whether this can be done and probably even less inclination to find out.

So can any one tell me - have they managed to get Google Earth installed through IGS on their work machines?

Cheers.
