Though the jigsaw pieces are, really, quite few and far between, one of the blogosphere's favourite games is trying to work out what the heck is going on with Star Wars Episode VII. As such, this picture is going to be scrutinised for even the tiniest clue.
Last tweet for the night. I spotted this at the weekend whilst #flying over Greenham Common. #StarWarsEpisodeVII pic.twitter.com/ypCNrZVDxl

All I'm really getting is that The Millennium Falcon and an X-Wing are going to park up in some greenery someplace. Maybe that will actually be significant later, but right now... no. Nothing. I can only shrug.
The BBC spoke to the man who took the picture as he flew by overhead - Maverick eat your heart out - and he said that, at first, he thought these were actual, experimental aircraft.
The location, incidentally, is Greenham Common. This is the RAF base in Berkshire, England where Cruise missiles were housed in the 80s. I remember all of the 1980s protests well, back when this place was all about the cold war, not Star Wars.
Star Wars Episode VII will hit cinemas worldwide on December 18th 2015 in 2D, 3D and IMAX.
