Damn, the aerial photos from that area are from 2004 :-)

"An 18-year-old has secretly painted a 60ft drawing of a penis on the 
roof of his parents' £1million mansion in Berkshire. It was there for 
a year before his parents found out. They say he'll have to scrub it 
off when he gets back from travelling."

Perhaps he should join CND and just 'modify' the roof-top message! :~o

Must admit to checking the date, I wonder if this 'story' has escaped 
from the CMS a bit early?...

I was thinking the same. Certainly looks like a 'shopped image to me.

Looks a bit more real here:

However, the roof in question doesn't have a penis on it in in the
aerial view of either Google Maps or Live.com.

Problem with Google Maps is the update frequency. The current images shows
a car I got rid of in 2007 outside my house.  

The car is a very easily distinguishable Volvo estate with a sunshine roof,
which also shows up at a elderly friend of my parents' house, some 50 miles
away, whom I last visited in 2003. 

Check back on Google maps in 6 years time, the penis may be there by then.
