Your question prompted me to download the "forest tools tree height app" and i'll shall be trying it out on the plane very soon..as soon as i get off Eel pie island where i am taking photos at the moment:)

Non !

 

I'm 'North London'

 

Hampstead's the Manor to which I was born

 

 

Is this Eel Pie or Glover's island? I always get the two mixed up ?

......Eel pie is much bigger and round the other side. It,s has a boatyard,rowing club residents (including the man who invented the wind up radio and several artists workshops...it,s an amazing place...anyhoo back to the tree...i,ve installed "Forest tools tree measurer" Which is complicated to use so next app i got was "X Clinometer" which is just a digital spirit level and compass/gradient device...but best app i got is "Smart measure"...it measured it at 144 feet...but i have hearedd of one in Hampshire that is 170 feet tall....still it is a very tall Plane.

I've seen that tree in the flesh Silky, and it is a whopper. The pics don't do it justice.

 

I reckon 120.

Yes smart measure if the way forward, I've had I for a while now and used properly it's fairly accurate
