If you’ve got Google Earth on your computer enter this in the "fly to" box

Ratcliffe Road, Leicestershire

Do you see what I see?

What are we supposed to be looking for? The Hawker Hunter in someone's back yard looks a little incongruous!

Any ideas what it's doing there? Can't find any details of it on the net.

Here's a screenshot of Ratcliffe Rd, Leicestershire from Google Earth.

I think the unusual Red car might be a Porsche 928 - oh and there's the Hunter in the field next to it too :P

It's the same red car and look how closely he's parked to that jet aircraft - he won't have enough space to open his cockpit canopy!

There's some appauling parking there too - the jet alone has taken up about four spaces!
