The quality is very good but totally out of date.
Coningsby has F3s, the Hush House is still there as are the tennis courts where the new build has taken place.
Then my house, stuff we put in 7 years or more ago is not there, flowerbeds, ponds, terrace etc

Local Live uses the Getmapping imagery which (round here) was shot in 99. It's also used on Multimap, but not to such a high res.

Buqqer me! How long has Locking looked like that?!
Spent a lot of time there as a cadet and civilian instructor with the gliding school down the road at Weston airport...

Diego Garcia (-7.317, 72.417) is an atoll located in the heart of the Indian Ocean, some 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometres) south of India's southern coast.
Mrs. DEL Mode is packing the house up due to posting - that's my excuse.

Isn't it strange that the imagery with the highest definition occurs around military installations?
Well, maybe not!
I work for an airline in Hong Kong. A Chinese airspace chappie was in one of our manager's offices one day explaining why we had to stick to the published routes in an out of one of our regular destinations. He explained that there a sensitive area nearby.
"What, this one?" replied out manager bringing up a google earth image of an airfield with lots of fighters. Chinese chappie nearly had a fit!

Here's a couple of interesting ones:
20 56 11.18 N
95 54 55.91 E
Couple of Mig 29s on the pan, plus what look like Mig 21s and old Sukhoi SU7s(???)
This is the MAF training base for FJs @ Meikthila. Interestingly, most of the country is badly served by Google E, but the 2 sites here are very clear to see...
The other one is:
20 53 29.07 N
95 54 09.32 E
Meikthila helicopter base- 3 Mi8s to be seen. Also a heli training base with Hueys, Jet rangers etc. There's also a Spitfire(late model) and a dak/DC3 there, but must be hidden under the trees...don't ask how I know
