So are we to assume that some of those backgrounds are from Google "streetview" in the specified postal code, with the aircraft overlaid onto them?

I would think so, I suspect they have to pay google the more zones they use which is why it is restricted to the uk. It picks up addresses well so you could put in the shepherds bush empire which is where JB played.

I put in Craven Cottage so I could see the home of my favorite football club.

When I have the cash, I never miss a chance to go to the Raffles Hotel for a Singapore sling. It's very popular with people who are only in town for a few days, and one often ends up chatting with them. On one occasion, a friend and I met a pair of British Airways stewardesses there. I wish I'd seen this ad then - I'd have asked if they could paint a union jack on my cheek like that. [smilie=cheeky-grin.gif]
