Boeing 747400 view from Space!

Having trawled Multimap for the best route to my Aunt Megs house, I accidently stumbled across this fantastic shot of a B747400 over southern england!

Can anyone hazard a guess as to altitude and origin/destination? My first assumption would be outbound Heathrow or Gatwick.

747

It's actually a restaurant on the ground, with a bouncy castle in it for off duty crews who are homesick to get back in the air!

Use '+' to zoom, 'Satellite' to get image. Hold mouse click to drag image around.


Strange double imaging on both.

Have fun...

If you go by the lat and long, than you come to a location close to the A3 near by Milford, which is situated about 6 miles sout west of Guildford and 18 miles west of Gatwick. So I my guess would be that the a/c is outbound from Gatwick. And if the a/c was on a standard departure (SAM 2M), a/c's altitude would probably be around 4000/5000' depending on the climb clearance.

Or you could zoom out and the box tells you it's 20 miles from gatwick between the A3 and the A286! Lat and Long indeed!
