I'm not sure M$ has anything to do with Google...

Going off subject for a while, just downloaded Google Earth and flew overhead Lincoln!!
From what I can make out the photograph was taken a few years ago (Before Flaxengate car park was removed in favour of a building that is nearly completed) in the morning after 09.00 but before 10.30 and on a weekday.
Any-one better that?? :roll:

If you look at Warton airfield, up on the Civil ramp is a set of ATC Vigilant gliders. Vigi's normally fly from samlesbury, and visit Warton once or twice year maybe? So just perhaps, I was there that day? :dance:

Here's a Dash-8 (or is it an ATR-72?) that just took off from EKCH, you can see the shadow on the ground as well:
Here
These aren't that difficult to find in the vicinity of any airport with regular traffic....
