Ebized Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Taken about 10 miles south west of Heathrow. Pic extract is zoomed in a bit so not sure how high the mapping plane is above that one Anyone know the airline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodgeevans Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 not really found anything strange on google maps but i did just spend half hour looking for this with not much luck. The fact it has an orange tail fin makes it look a bit easyjet-ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky370z Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 looks like easyjet, with the orange tail. but not sure if they have blue engines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Great spot! I've found some weird things on google maps too. I was surveying a route through some back roads in Utah when it suddenly went from a bright sunny day to deep snow on the road, an overcast sky then back again to sunshine a few hundred yards later.

Beavis Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Looks like a BA (Boeing 777) plane to me. I reckon you can see the red flashes of the ribbon near the nose and the top part of the vertical stabilizer arrowed (that looks orangey). I could be wrong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipar69 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 [attachment=0]Google map with plane.jpg[/attachment] Taken about 10 miles south west of Heathrow. Pic extract is zoomed in a bit so not sure how high the mapping plane is above that one Anyone know the airline? Is that near Sunningdale by any chance? By coincidence, I think I might have seen it as well recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm doing the same to me now. To to google directions and ask for walking directions from 'the shire' to 'Mordor'.....obviously it doesn't recognise either address so don't select any of the options it suggests.
