Ghost planes on Google

Planning a route to a meeting in Central London, I recently came across a (not so) ghostly appiration hovering what looks like a few metres above Russell Square and heading towards the British Museum.

Taking into account the way Google snaps its Maps images via Satelite I've no doubt this is a fairly common occurance, nevertheless, this is the very first time I've come across it and the geek inside of me feels that it should be shared. Take a look for yourself:
