Evening all,

If, having properly steeled yourself, you look he

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl...oc=addr& om=1

You'll see a horrific, spectral prison, through which the pattern of paths
and fields on the ground where it lies is still visible. A ghostly prison,
built to hold who knows what manner of eldritch inmates - and even more
terrifying, it's in Staines!

PS Actually this:

Presumably built between two aerial photos of the area being taken or
something.

Try the glass airliners at Geneva airport, alongside the 3rd (NE)
gate island, and moving down the taxiway to its west.

Cheers, Steve.

There is a ghostly prison here -

Please explain. Thanks.

I found an estate with no rooves on... it looks like one of those diagrams
you see in estate agent windows.

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&...&t=k&z=19&om=1

If you look at the same estate in Windows Live Local, the Birds Eye Views
show the estate completed, but the plan view shows the stuff that was
demolished to make room for it.

Ooh, nice one!

I've come across a couple of cases of that with roads - the A120 past
Stansted, i think, which was on the map but not the photo. The A10 bypass
from Standon to the outskirts of Ware is still missing from the photos
(unless it's in a tunnel or something):

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=ware...&t=h&z=13&om=1

And am i right in think that's the skeleton of a dead wartime airfield
just to the east of Stansted:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl...wloc=addr&om=1

?

There's another one:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl...=k& z=15&om=1

Now a go-kart track and some football pitches.

And what are these mysterious road loops:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl...=h &z=15&om=1

?

Another abandoned airbase:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl...=k& z=15&om=1

It's amazing how easy they are to spot from the air (assuming they're not
decoys). Which is kind of unfortunate, given the context in which they
were built!

Yep - Great Dunmow, in use from 1943 to 1946:

The remains of the USAF base at Little Walden (really only used for the
D-day landings and the period after).
