Google Earth thread!

One particularly good sequence is the Dec 43 - Dec 53 Templehof picture.

Trying to be clever beyond my means I made a JPG image and inserted it as an Overlay into the Google Earth viewer. It was not what I wanted but then I found that I couldn't delete it. It does not show up in Placemarks in the left hand view window. I consulted GE Help but it seems to cover everything but my problem.

So, not to be outdone I deleted the JPG image from my HDD but now in the GE viewer is a BIG RED CROSS in a white box that obscures my view.

How do I get rid of it?

I have looked carefully through My Places (there are a lot!!) but can't see it. I think that you may be right with you second opinion, it is 'hidden' somewhere in there.

OK. Found it and deleted. Unlike a true placemark, which you can 'Right Click' and then locate in the folder, the overlay image does not respond to on-screen 'clicks'. you must find it in Places first! It was cunningly hidden but exactly where I put it!

Apologies if im the 'last one to the party' but has anyone else noticed Google Earth can be 'rewound' to 1945 now for some fairly large chunks of the UK?

lots of original airfield imagery there.....sadly some big gaps but its a start

Try Deenthorpe as a good example, click the 'clock' icon and voila...1945 is suddenly there!

Cant take credit for spotting it, a mate of mine did

So a big thanks for letting us know.

I echo that... that's my weekend plans ruined.

Hal_Chase,

Excellent tip, checked it out, great stuff, thanks for the info.

top notch, just found a ship target outside Thetford, wish I could work out how to link to the image
