Very odd. I have been 'chasing' the bomb store layouts at Kinloss for some time so was surprised to find GE 1945 coverage, I used it to mark some locations. Today, it's gone!

I will check and see if I saved a screenshot.

No, I didn't, foolish of me! I also looked at Forres and some other 'fields.

Bears checking every day!!

EDIT

Oh dear, he's getting senile I hear them say! Just found from my notes that I was looking at CANMORE images. To make up for it, try this:

Go to CANMORE and put this is the search box:

Woodside, Kinloss, MORAYSHIRE, SCOTLAND, Sortie M_037 / FNO 189, Frame 2064

Can't find that either Peter, though I haven't got the hang of the search facilities. Can find Woodside OR Kinloss, but not both. I get 51 images of the airfield, but nothing like the above.

Has it got a DP or an SC number?

Strangely this aerial oblique of the airfield isn't canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/details/1153591/

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

Why are the plans for the lavatories in the National Museum of The Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Tripoli, on the RCAHMS website? :confused:

National Museum of The Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Tripoli

Dont' know how you found that, Paul. I tried to read the title of the plan in my link and could just decipher the word 'Arab'

Graham - Use this link to get to the Scottish aerials and then search. I find using sortie number sort is good as well. I found it difficult to find a link in the Canmore site to the aerial photo site.

I wonder if the Libyan Museum plans were drawn up by a Scottish architect or firm? There are quite a few non-Scottish items in Canmore.

Sorry, since Bill Gates thoughtfully auto updated my XP I have had problems with Firefox/Google whereby I cannot see the full URL in the search box when the page loads.

Try this:

aerial.rcahms.gov.uk/database/results.ph...earchterm=%2BKINLOSS

Double click Frame 2064. You will not be able to make it larger unless you are a registered user.

....as to the plans of the museum lavatories being on-line CANMORE, perhaps the Scots bothy dwellers want to copy the design to avoid having to roll the rock to one side to open the door:)

Not sure what I am seeing today in GE.

Go to Lossiemouth and use the Toolbar Clock to roll-back to May 8, 2008 which has black and white imagery. Looks modern, maybe just a colour change.
