Is there a thread on Google Maps items of interest, I assume my search powers are weak or it’s zombified if there is one.

[There’s a Sopwith Camel on top of the building at 77 Water Street, New York](http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=77+Water+Street+new+york&ll=40.704144,-74.008219&spn=0.002241,0.005493&gl=uk&t=k&z=18).

[It’s a replica sadly](http://jalopnik.com/5823115/manhattans-secret-rooftop-warplane), the shadow of the neighbouring building suggests it’s taller, I wonder if any of their air conditioning engineers were thrown by the view across the way.
