:yeahthat:'s fine ... providing the person viewing the aerial photos is:

relatively acquainted with the surroundings - and thus able to identify certain familiar landmarks, e.g., church domes or spires - and pictures taken at an altitude that allows such buildings to be clearly discernible to the naked eye ...

... otherwise it's all too easy to lose one's bearings. :wink:

That's a great resource.....thanks Dedworth :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I really enjoy photographs, there's some wonderful stuff there and I'll keep that bookmarked and stored.
Memories, records and a visual sense of change.
I've been a hobbyist photographer since early childhood and still find magic in all photographs.
To think that the photograph is created in an instant at the push of a button for a reason and then holds that special moment forever....amazing.

how things have changed thou,the picture is of Barton Aerodrome, it was Britains first Municipal airport (built 1928 to 1930) and has (probably) the oldest purpose built control tower in the world still used for it's original purpose. For 60 years it was home to one of the oldest aero clubs in the world, Lancashire Aero Club but they have now moved
