I'm not going to guess what it is, I'll wait for our resident expert to turn up  :wink:

Well there's two that looked like they've crashed at
52 48 51.60N 1 22 37.85W

Not so much time on your hands but looking down a flightpath of an airfield.

We went to Hampshire with out caravan club and when I looked on Google Earth Lo and behold the site has our caravans on it.
It's a college playing field and there's no doubt it's us.

200 miles from home. I can actually date the photo to within a few days as Bev was with us and he'd left early to go home because of work.
So his Disco and caravan aren't in the picture. Although mine and Paul's are in there.

You can even work out the time due to the shadow angles. That one was taken early morning.

It depends what area of the country you are looking at, some are in Hi-resolution and some are Low-resolution, so if you know how to zoom in (and it's not getting any clearer) then I'm afraid that's probably all you'll get.

When you are in a high elevation view (i.e. zoomed out) then some areas will look blurred, these are the high res areas that get more detailed as you zoom in (it can take a little while for your computer to download the extra info).

Could have been taken when the G8 summit was on last year, they were using Prestwick for all the world leaders and the aircraft may have been the transport for G.W Bush's vehicles & helicopters etc.  :wink:
