Need help...
On a flight from Cardiff to Edinburgh I was looking out of the window and spotted an estate where the layout had been set to look like the Millennium Falcon - roads, buildings, etc...but my phone was off and I didn't get chance to snap a picture.
Pretty sure we were still in Wales as we'd not been flying that long.
Looked on MAPS but can't spot it.
Anyone know about this or heard anything about it?? Want to show the boy.
Cheers,
WoD.
Can't help with a Welsh estate, but I can give you a high school in Pennsylvania (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2130862/Millennium-Falcon-High-The-school-campus-looks-exactly-like-Star-Wars-spaceship.html) or a shipreck/rock formation in the Baltic Sea (http://www.blastr.com/2012/07/that_sunken_millennium_fa.php).
Cheers - I've seen the school before which probably drew my eye to this - I couldn't even get my mate to see it as the plane flew past too quickly (we were quite low due to the plane so things went by the window quickly). Can't find the standard flight-path for this rout either so not easy to scan GoogleMaps, etc. to find it.
Guess it would have to have been built early 80's on...but again can't find a list of estate building for South Wales...
You should have got the pilot to stop the plane so you could get a picture.
Heh...planning another trip up there (not just so I can try to spot it again honest...).
Take a helicopter next time!
There is a guy in the US that is trying to build a Life Size Replica of the MF. Anybody heard about it?

Long, long time since I posted...but someone has found the estate I was looking for...or another one in the neighbourhood...

It wasn't just a dream!
Bah, you call that a Millennium Falcon shaped housing estate?
From Mile-Cross in Norwich...
