Britain from the air

I've just been having a look at this on the BBC website. I love this sort of thing and thought some of you might enjoy it as well

And here's the website with the collection:

There's a section here for unidentified places, maybe the TP folk can help:

You might find it's running a bit slow at the moment due to the enourmous demand.

I had a look early this morning and it's fascinating, I found my childhood home and it's amazing to see how much things have changed.

Ha ha. I thought it was just my internet being slow!

I'll have a proper look later this evening when I've finished work

This type of photography absolutely fascinates me. One for the pictures of how everything used to look and two as aerial photography is something I've always wanted to do ever since I was a kid and they used to come door to door with the aerial shots of our house.

Just clicked on 'Kursaal' which was in Southend on Sea and I got images of Bexhill....

Ah booo, I typed in Vigo and it has no results.

In fact, there's not a lot in Kent!
