# to scale if it's flat on the Thames?
I thought it'd be bigger

maybe the London eye is bigger than I remember, according to Wiki, Saturn 5 is 100 metres and the eye is 135, I would say you could make the rocket a touch bigger.
I've looked in to this far too much just now haven't I?

*edit - best thing about Saturn 5 is this www.youtube.com/watch?v=03cy86u6Wi4

# Close
The Saturn V is 110m, but this image is sans-first stage as far as I can tell :)

# To scale if it was zooming along a mm from the ground yes!!
High high is it? And then is it to scale?

# Close to the ground
only when compared to the distance from the ground to the camera. The image of London is taken from Google Maps, and I used the scale bar it provided to give me the size of the rocket. :)
