google maps now have more detailed satellite imagery of bits of the rest of the world.

The Oval, The Tower of London, Canary Wharf, Old Trafford, Medway Estuary

Found what appears to be a bridge under construction in Greece - which would be the Rio Antirio bridge.

Cool, I found my parent's houese!

There are a couple of people in the neighbourgood with swimming pools, which I never knew about.

Yes, although google maps is corrupting my mind, i keep trying to click and drag the map in multimap.

There was a random conspiracy site somebody found a while ago which linked to aerial photos of all of the UK's military bases, although the men in black helicopters (With dodgy engine management systems) have probably made it go away and i can't find it any more.

iirc MoD foxhill in Bath is the cities second or third largest employer (soon too have 500 more staff thanks to the creation/relocation of the Human Cattle department here). Typical joined up thinking considering the current affordable housing crisis in bath and the wages the civil service pays.
