One (small) past thread:

Aerial Photo Explorer - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33305759 - Oct 2022 (2 comments)

There's a sizeable cluster north of London on there - trying to work out why, I suspect it may be the proximity to Bedford Aerodrome and the fact that it's a very farming centered area and aerial photos can be very useful to farmers.

Historic England is the organisation name, so the title should probably be

Historic England Aerial Photo Explorer.
