I am afraid I don't know the answer. Yahoo surely have all the imagery, but presumably have chosen to release this random coverage to OSM.

	Interesting stuff - it really shows just how limited the aerial coverage
	is though. :(
	
	Do you know if Yahoo are actively expanding their coverage?  It's quite
	surprising to see some large cities like Birmingham not included.
