The phenomenon appears to be a huge mound of empty sea (with some coast). P'raps there's some huge earth movement or a great tidal wave that the inhabitants of Unst ought to know about??

Shy Dutch...
Having just done some planning (yes, I know there's a first time for everything!) for the Market Garden commemoration, I see the Dutch have persuaded Google Earth to disruptively pixillate within the airfield boundaries of Deelen and Soesterburg. A quick check of Eindhoven/Den Helder/Leuwarden reveals (pun intended) the same. Are the Dutch MoD top brass uncharacteristically shy for cloggies?!

I remember when the Type 80 "tripped" 
[ I was at R.A F. Buchan] ....and we had the Entire NorthWest Norwegian Coast/North Cape coverage, down to a 1940s type 14 Search Radar. It did have IFF capability though....

Google Earth Co-Ords
just joined pp 2day and well impressed with this thread. keep the co-ords coming as they have kept me amused for the last hour and are quite interesting (i am not a spotter, honest !!)
Going all the way back to that post on page 3:
I've found another programme called Flash Earth with some interesting alternatives to Google's imagery. Try this:
http://www.flashearth.com/?lat=51.49...16.8&r=0&src=2
When you've done that, you can pop back to Google Earth and get a good view of one of my favourite "girls" - young Molly to those who know 'er. She can be found at 52°27'2.02"N 1°45'7.42"W
So what isn't shown here? Or did the satellite just glitch?

Thud,
Well that's the weekend gone looking at the differences
Leuchars is in detail but not so for ISK or ISL
Waddington in detail too but quite old... how long since the Vulcan moved from between AWC and EES 97? 98?

Space tourism
Turned into a bit of an anorak on this - passes the time though. Should get out more - probably book a flight here for a cool £10m

Nice shot of the Baikonur launch pads. Can't decide if there's anything on them from the shadows. They look empty
