Depending on your definition of "global" that answer might also apply to 
any (even non-freely available) imagery services and to a much broader 
understanding of "high resolution". ;-)

Naturally there are free tiers with the goog and so on, but that
requires some warping of "freely accessible" to fit the definition.

Hello Simon,

OK - thanks - just thought I'd ask just in case something existed but was 
obscure and hard to find.

Thanks,
Nick

The very short answer, if you are referring to a global "high resolution" 
imagery mosaic, is "no".

Hi,

Just wondering if there are any 'XYZ tile format' freely available aerial 
imagery tileservers, other than low-resolution ones such as Landsat.

Have checked https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Aerial_imagery and it lists a 
few, but I'm not sure any are freely available at high resolution and with 
global coverage. Bing, I think, is only licensed for use in OSM editors and not 
general OSM applications.

I'd like to use it for my own (FOSS) web-based application to overlay aerial 
imagery and OSM data on a 3D terrain.

Thanks,
Nick
