Not taken by me, but I noticed a 'stock' placeholder photo on the EGAA website and was surprised to see it hyperlinked to a larger version. Appears to be a view of the airport during early arrivals for the G8 conference

Japanese B744 left foreground, Russian Il-96 at extreme right on the RAF side and a Merlin on the next apron behind it. Pair of Pumas between them?

Then a pair of Chinooks hiding on the grass beyond that. Look straight 'up' from them and there are a pair of Merlins apparently airborne.

Possibly the Russian T204 rear-quarter just beyond the TNT B734.

Not technically great, but flying over Cape Canaveral and the Vehicle Assembly Building, courtesy of Sir Richard, and a 747-700 (I really should remember which one...think it was G-VROM)...

Cool!

Its proximity to the lagoon made me wonder how they built it, which led to:

http://www.nasa.gov/centers/kennedy/about/history/story/ch5_prt.htm

Quote

The foundation presented unusual problems. Tests showed a three-foot (one-meter) limestone shelf 118 feet (36 meters) below the surface. The layers below that were silt overlaying bedrock at a depth of 160 feet (49 meters). Core borings revealed petrified wood, carbon-dated to be 25,000 years old.

It was decided that the massive VAB would rest upon steel pipe pilings, 16 inches (41 centimeters) in diameter and 3/8 inch (10 millimeters) thick, driven into the limestone bedrock. The foundation contractor spent six months driving 4,225 pilings through the upper limestone layer. When the job was complete, 128 miles (206 kilometers) of steel pipe had been buried.

Smudge your eyesight is excellent, while I can't see them in the pic , I can confirm they arrived as a pair... I photographed them.

Cracking shot!

I think those are the ex-Danish ones we bought, with the bumpy noses.

When were these in

it's a reference back to the G8 photo from the EGAA website.
