Everyone remember SergioL's Lancaster over Huntingdon?

Here it is in all it's glory in 'The Sun' newspaper dated Wednesday 18th January 2006:



The Article reads:

Quote:

Web users were left baffled when a ghostly World War Two bomber on an internet photo map

The mystery 60-year old RAF Lancaster was shown on cult mapping program Google Earth.

An eagle-eyed British web user raised the alarm. But it later emerged the "ghostly apparition" was a restored Lancaster flying over Huntingdon, Cambs, from an airshow. It's camouflage meant it was missed by the Google team who checked the satellite photos. The Lancaster, one of only two still flying, featured in hit film, Guns of Navarone.




Well done again SergioL!! You're gonna be famous!!
