Google Earth Finds

[Chris S]

Probably old news, but as I was transposing the Severn Across routesheet to GPS, and using GE to find all those blessed mini roundabouts along the A4155 in Bourne End, I stumbled across this:



So - what's in your back garden?

There's this one which was almost over my nephew's place in Wertheim Way, Huntingdon. The Google Earth photos have been updated since.

The latest ones of our house are less interesting than the previous lot, in which our awning was extended and you could clearly see washing on the line.

Mircroshaft's Live Earth is even more notorious ... on my old school you can see people playing cricket, and you can tell they're in Year 10 or higher because they are wearing the old PE uniform.

Watch the cyclist on the right, move the car forward then pan round to see what happens to him!!!

On an earlier version of Google Earth, a C-130J was immortalised in the act of hedge hopping just north of Bibury.

Witnessed a classic example of the behaviour on Saturday just south of Bibury.  Hercules crew spot lone female cyclist and drop down to hedge level to buzz her before climbing away steeply.  Boys will be boys!

That's just across the road from where I used to work.

Ooh, you used to work for them. How is Bob?

No, across the other road .

Ah, ok. No connections to them.
