I think M$ have put an 'easter egg' in.

If you think that's low, have a look here:-

41Â°51'7.47"N
121Â°28'42.92"W

There's also something of interest here:-

52Â°20'10.62"N
0Â°11'44.23"W

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:

Heh, I used to have the co-ords to a load of swear word "crop circles" but I don't have them any more

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....
