Douglas Corpy will love this too Aren't you putting the cart before the horse so to speak? By which I mean - aren't these images from part of the data which is already used for those sort of surveys?

I think that there was some sort of licencing complication which stopped Google Earth previously being more detailed. ^ I think - that isn't definite. Getmapping have certainly been selling very detailed aerial images of the island for ages. At least 5 or more years. And I thought they were govt survey images. Although I can't remember now why I thought they were govt images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven ! Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 You could establish the approximate time and date of each shot from the length and direction of shadows. Compare these two from different years, One early morning the other later in the afternoon. The gravestones and graves (right hand corner mostly recent) give a good indication of date.

andrew Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 There is a Road Race taking place at Jurby. If 2006, then it's either Sat 20 May or Sat 15 July when that area was taken. Plus, there are quite a few Vehicles still in the Field down at Billown so as the 2006 Southern 100 was 11-13 July, I would say it was Saturday 15 July.

loaf Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 The markings of the disused runway 35/17 are pretty clear at Ronaldsway, and it was at the time I was getting my licence. Can't say I noticed the markings then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
