I has looked at that whilst we were working on it. It was really slow
for working with large images, and as far as I could tell would have
required a lot of manual converting between OSGB and lat/lon. Our
georeferencing isn't perfect though, and some of the techniques used on
that site could probably be used to improve our work.

There should be an announcement about our work sometime in the next 2
weeks, the Oxford Beer festival is this Thursday to Saturday so will be
delaying work on it.
