These google earth pictures and other similar sites using satelite photos have been about for ages showing CTC etc. If you searched throught his site you'ld be able to find some threads. It is good to see some good photos still though. And theres no reason not to show such information as ariel photos, you could work out the layout by looking around from outside the perrimiter fence if need be, anyway OS maps show the layouts of the bases anyway, and they're gov authorised so obviously not felt that important. You can't hide a building (of the above ground showing up on ariel pictures type) so theres little point trying, a guy sat on a hill with binooculars could qorkout the same infomation. And knowing there is a building isn't the main thing, its knowing whats inside the building thats the important information.

technically, if someone were to attack CTC it wouldnt be a terrorist attack. I don't recommend it though. Plus, CTC is a background image in the Green Bible anyways and its not as if its a secret facility that has never enjoyed civilian vists.

Who's to say the nods wouldn't love it anyway? I was just letting off a little joke, I didn't mean it to be 100% precise.

Yeah they don't tend to update any of the photos that often, I've noticed using mapmyrun (which uses google maps) that the photos are usually a good couple of years old at least, especially in countyside areas.
