Hi over-the-ponders :-)

Strapped to an office in London whilst the big white
fluffy things drift slowly over, I found this at lunchtime
today on Google Earth - Make, model and manouvre sought
(just for fun).

N52.10.18
W0.5.53
Alt < 5k' and zoom in


Several other a/c in the area, 1 thermalling(?) to
the North and an interesting field, Southern end at:

N52.10.00
W0.06.52
Alt < 3k'

Looks like it could poss be an earlier hamlet???

Check out Hobbs, New Mexico airport, just NW of town. Zoom in on the
North end of the runway.
