I cheated.

Save the picture and open the EXIF data. It contains the tags, "Andravida; Photo Chase; SAC Rob Travis; Red Arrows; RAFAT; Crown Copyright; "

Thank you very much - most impressive. I have never heard of EXIF data before. The Google Earth link which you supplied shows some blokes face - is this you?The closest I got was Alconbury which was clearly wrong. Maybe we should start a photo competition?
