...and the Germans had photographs of Patton’s army in Scotland as well.
From the article:
“Military experts warn that would make it easy for terrorists to launch accurate mortar or rocket attacks”
Stop paying them welfare benefits then.

Several years back while watching one of the UFO shows on the History channel they interviewed a military spokesman from Groom Lake.
He made it pretty clear that there are few “open air” secrets in today’s world. There are just too many satellites taking too many pictures for anything on the ground to be a secret for very long. They track satellites and know when they’re overhead. If they want to do anything secret they do it in the few minutes they have without sat coverage, they do it underground of they camouflage it somehow.
For all we know, those “subs” could be made out of cardboard! (Th UK might be testing their “anti-Google misinformation policy.”
You can see the base on www.virtualearth.com, only no subs.
Faslane has been a sub-base since Brits had sub’s. Heck I played a submarine video game in the 1980’s where the homeport was this base for battles against the German u-boats.
I believe there was a report that due to budget cuts, most of the Brits boats are tied to the pier and not on patrol anyway.
They don't need their own. Too many sources to buy the data already. Google is just the easy source for us lazy, cheap types.
And how nice of you as well.. for spreading it even wider.
Good show.
True, the close-up picture of my place is from 2003. Even on street view, they left us alone.
People do realize that Google Earth shots come from publicly available satellite photos right? Just like the rest of Google there’s nothing you can learn there that you can’t learn elsewhere, it just might take more work elsewhere.
That's how India managed to evade detection when they blasted five nukes in the Thar Desert, in 1998. The trick is in satellite location espionage, including of those satellites that are shielded from being detected from Earth.
I don’t see how it is very different than googling ‘sub base in UK’
Oh no, wait until the Germans find out about this base.
Since the owners of Google are the stockholders and it is a publicly traded company with majority ownership held by a bunch of non-Russian mutual funds and institutions, your statement doesn't seem to make sense.
One of the founders of Google was born in Russia, but he moved to the US at the age of six.
Story is nonsense. See the road at the right hand side of the base? It’s a public road. Everybody knows it is there.
Like sticking the nose of one aircraft out of one end of the hangar and the tail out the other?
We used to have a travel pod that we hung all sorts of antenna's off of, put on rad and radar warning tags, and would hang it off the wing of one of our jets whenever we knew the Soviets were at the fenceline taking pictures.
