    Been on that in 1995.
    Not as good as HMS Victory though. :)

    This will be the Mohne dam won't it?

    My Thoughts exactly :wink:
    HMS Victory: 50°48'6.18"N 1° 6'34.31"W Oldest commissioned ship?
    (My Favourite, The Warrior lies close-by 50°47'53.96"N 1° 6'31.80"W)

    No, however, if you type my address into Google Earth and then zoom in you can see at the north end of the runway two T 6's (Harvards) and a yellow and a red Stearman.

    30°27'9.49"N 88°12'37.25"W

    This is the view we can get.

    Imagine what definition the US security agencies have!

    My understanding is they can see and read number plates on cars. That has always puzzled me as the view is downwards, not sideways!

    Uncle Sam is watching you!

    I'm really not too sure. It seems that some areas are blurred.

    Depends on the area I think.

    I can see my mates house and back yard clearly however mine is blurred and he is only 15kms away.
