I am sure I have seen a thread on aerial photos somewhere recently?

I'm not entirely sure of the benefits of the additional search subscription for undisguised images as you obviously can't view them to see if the actually show what you where looking for.

I ordered two images that I knew the frame details for, as if I'd searched for them, but still cost £35 each. I am not complaining as knew this was to be the cost but the actual photos didn't show what I was looking for. This would have been prevented if I'd waited for digital content to be available but most updates seem to miss the areas I'm interested in, most seem to be Europe, and I was getting impatient :)

Still it's the best thing since sliced bead and I must try to curb my impatience or my wallet will suffer :)
