Same for the ones of Oxley - the stored lines there are empty, so it would be between 2000 - 2002 ish.

But there is also a Concorde 'parked' on the runway/taxiway 23, which occured post-returement. The Heathrow photos are actually a mix-and-match from various years, between 2001 and 2004 I believe according to an aviation forum I use.

Can't remember exactly where, but I did spot the same two vehicles (a car and a van in close convoy!) at three different places on the same road. This was somewhere in the more recent updates to the map, where a patchwork of smaller photos are used.

And the ones at Birmingham Airport are 3+ years old.

Zoom in on Washwood Heath and there are a load of Pendolino shells visible. (and some 334's nearby!)
Lat 52.500213 Lon -1.844598

Are these Adelante's??? (ant looks like a couple of 458 coaches just above!)
Lat 52.498604 Lon -1.850421

Also noticed a Voyager at Kensington Olympia, Silverlink 313 between the Thames & Clapham Junction......

More to come when I find them

Mr Collier - I trust you can provide me with evidence that this has ever happened. If not, I shall have to have words with your boss woman about you posting Eurostar information on here....

Or perhaps I will just post a copy of this on the notice board at Waterloo International and let the staff deal with you themselves, next time you dare show your face there....

Just though I might post a link to Clapham Junction -

Clapham Junction is "Britain's Busiest Railway Station", yet I've never seen it so empty!

Oh well, there's loads of 'slammers' to see in the yard and a few 442s in SWT's livery too!
