Try visiting Wishaw l - make sure you've got your will updated !

Friends of mine visited Poland and say it was great - cheap prices (though growing recently). Have you seen prices in Moscow nowadays? More expensive than London, rude staff, dangerous country - no wonder number of tourists going to Russia is dropping now.

St Peterbourg should be nice indeed - never was there myself but I'd recommend it above Moscow.

AtW,

What makes you the expert on Russian military hardware?

Don't be silly. atW is an expert on everything.

Did you have school lessons about military hardware of your own and "potential enemies"? That's when I first seen odd RAF circles, looked very Japanese to me

The radio-electronic signature of Tu-160 and something like Boeing 747 are pretty distinct - did not they teach you that in UK GCSEs?

WTF is a radio-electronic signature?

Do you mean Radar signature?

In English Radar signature is probably a better term, mine was direct translation from Russian military terminology. I was hoping it would be Incognito who'd ask this question as it would prove he knows nothing about Soviet/Russian military hardware.

Have you seen Google Earth? They show my car parked next to my house, does it mean there were no clouds in UK when they made the shots?

Of course it does.

Do you know how many passes the satellite had to make before it could get a shot? Google don't put the ones with clouds on the Google Earth - what would be the point.

Once again, your lack of joined up thinking outs you as the town-class idiot you are.

My first visit was in 1992 (work related) then again in 1998 - pity you havent seen St Petersburg it is a fnatastic place to visit.

Yes I am aware the Moscow is now very expensive, having been there twice already theres not a lot which woud make me visit again.

Poland I have heard is worthwhile though the best country I have visited in the former Eastern Block was Bulgaria - Sofia being akin to the Paris of the East - certainly worth a visit,

Yes it should be pretty nice.

1998 was year of default - from August that is, right now Moscow is extremely expensive more so than London: every time you refuel your car or use any gas generated electricity you help pay salaries of Chelsea football players.

What I know is that if Google can make free Google Earth then Pentagon could do 100 times better and faster.

I don't think calling me an idiot exactly helps you look smart or in any way makes your arguement stronger.

Not all Google Earth images are Satellite photographs.

Also, have a look at Faslane on GEarth!
