    I don't even recall when a factory was there.

    It was the Big Boss's office block at the Royal Ordnance site

    (assuming I'm thinking of the right place)

    Real time?
    Try years.

    A photo interpreter can deduce some features (seasons, weekends, etc.)
    They don't offer you important ancillary data. This is not a
    professional photo service: it's only there for you to attempt to look
    at your house and as an Internet proof of concept.

    Perhaps the most dramatic emergent feature I've seen on Google earth are
    the layers zooming down to the islands being made off Dubai. One level:
    nothing, then boom, they added them.
    Launch a new satellite or fly a plane and take data.
    Professional snow hydrologists. That was an early job which paid for me to
    learn to ski.

    Ahhh yes, could well have been. Right next to the M25.

    It's all about context though, and nothing at all about transatlantic
    language differences, which is what you were implying.

    EarthBrowser with Satellite overlay might help depending on cloud cover.

    I got a good image of the smoke from that Herts refinery fire in '05.

    No it's not in real time and the results for each area can vary widely
    -(probably depending upon popularity). E.g. the photo of my house is
    over two years old, but that of my parents, less than 6 months.

    I call it the same thing wherever I am in these Sceptred Isles.
