Anyone know how much of this is left at Little Staughton please?

Google is way out of date for Little Staughton (2008). Does anyone know if this technical site is still intact please?
Perhaps someone has some pictures of these buildings too? I have looked at the dedicated thread but this lot weren't covered.

Thanks

Zoom Earth has an image dated June 2018 showing the same buildings and often (but not always) the ZE image is more up to date than GE; take a look at Lossiemouth on both if you don't believe me!

Thanks Terry, I wasn't aware of that site - nice clear imagery for sure. Unfortunately when I zoom into that area, the date goes back to Nov 2011 so it's hard to know if the building is still there.

Anyone ever visited this site?

Zoom Earth uses Bing Maps. A few years ago their coverage of Scotland, regarding clarity, was way ahead of Google's. Then it deteriorated, much as Google's has done recently. Generally the latter's 2014-17 views are superior to current ones. Some of the Bing aerial-view links I posted years ago were stunning at the time. Not any more. Blame it on global warming and increasing haze I guess :angry:

Plan A is always more effective when the problem you are working on understands that Plan B will involve the use of dynamite :twisted:

Thanks Carnaby, that's a shame. I did notice the latest Google shots were rubbish.

The tech site at Little Staughton remains pretty much as that view shows, now used as a small industrial/trade area.
The RSP is available via the American Air Museum site.

Thanks Paul, that's good to know. The drying room appears to retain the square outlet vent which I think is quite rare. I've never found any photos of this feature myself.
