I received a reply about the cost to rent a plane, about 230GBP for one hour and the airport was close to the place they were photographying and it was mostly a PR stunt.
Due to the sideways angle they are having difficulty rectifying images and that side of things is being worked on however companies doing this on a professional basis have a custom fit out of a plane with gyro stabalising mounts and super expensive medium format or bigger film sizes. I was pointed to this link, which I've already seen and forgot about, but it seems sat imagery is cheaper than trying to do it by plane: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Aerial_photography_funding_appeals#How_much_does_it_cost About 12-17$ per sq km, US$ I'm guessing, although AU$ is up to 87c again. If we could raise the funds needed the only question then is what do we want imagery of? _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
