Once you've found it click the link button in the top right of the map and copy and paste the top of the two links.

Most things blanked out of maps are military installations of some sort. Must admit the long thin shape is confusing.

Actually, zoom in on it more and it appears,

Must just be a couple of missing photos from the higher level sat shots.

Oh for flip sake! Why does it keep coming up as the UK? Does anyone know how actually copy and paste a google map without the UK on it?

Tiggs,

Click on the little button that says link in the top right and copy the top link from there, not the one on your address bar.
