Re: Interesting Internet
I was just looking at Cyprus on Bing Maps and thought 'What's that on the threshold of Akrotiri?' A quick zoom finds a TR1 at the beginning of it's take off roll, with chase cars in attendance Always gives me a bit of a grin, finding little gems like that on the aerial mapping sites

I’m told by locals (I’m sure someone can find confirmation either way) that there is (or was) one in the Horizon Hangar at St Athan, too.
