Somebody way better at math than I may be able to figure this out.

The wingspan of the Lancaster is 102 Ft.

The Google measurement tool shows 149 feet in the picture.

It depends on the altitude of the camera that took the shot.
Assuming a typical 26,000' camera run (amazing what Google
will turn up) that would put the Lancaster at 8200'. A
camera at 10,000' puts it at about 3,100'.

I thought Google's images were from satellites...
