Google Earth Bomber Found…

Just gotta love this. Yeah, I’m a few months slow, but hey, I do post the inter­est­ing stuff :-)

A first time poster at the Google Earth Com­munity pos­ted a place­mark to this incred­ible sight of a fully restored Lan­caster Bomber which just happened to be fly­ing just about over his house (which is why he found it). Accord­ing to other posters in the thread, this is the Battle of Bri­tain Memorial Flight Avro Lan­caster, nor­mally loc­ated in the City of Lin­coln, Eng­land (see web­site).

Hi All Experts,
Does anyone use google earth images as ground image planes for use in aerial scenes. I know how to stitch them together but are there any tools or tricks to make sure that the images are at the same height, angle and such to make sure they stitch well. I know in the pro version you can get bigger images but im not going to pay for the pro version when i could stitch multiple images together…
