The eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed that I’m doing a little of aerial photography. Well it’s been at least three days before I mentioned it, so here we go again. So this farmer dude from around the corner at home comes to see me. He’s interested in the aerial photographs and what I’ve been up to, however he’s really concerned that I’m working for the government and that I’m spying on the farmers and landowners. With the farm subsidy payments about to start flowing following the three year botched government IT project cock up, I guess it’s no surprise that this group of land owners are afraid that the government will be looking for any way they can to withhold payment. I explained that the government did not need any tangible reason to withhold payments as the last three years had shown. His concern then went on to express that the government may be sending out inspectors to check on what’s going on. So, is there a spy in the camp? It looks to me like the government only has to look at Google Earth to see what’s going on. There really is no need to knock on doors anymore. If any government agencies are interested though, I’d be happy to supply updated imagery of any area at reasonable rates. Your spy in the air – Dave Eff Add your comment |
