This is so clever. Try it.

BA launched a new Olympics themed advert yesterday which is quite clever BUT the REALLY clever bit is you can put in any UK postcode or address (or try both) and "thanks to CGI and Google Maps", the advert will include the B777 taxiing up your road!

I tried it and it went right passed my house :rofl

Aww that's a shame Brian - put a friend or relatives address in, just so you can have a go. :tup

I can't get it. Keeps saying no results can you be more specific. I've used both MIL's post code and/or address in the UK, must be because I'm abroad.

Thanks Glynis, I've watched the advert on the BA site, but it would have been nice to have seen MIL's bungalow, .

Neat Idea though.
