I am using the OpenLayers plugin in QGIS. I want to use the google satellite layer, but there is a cloud on the specific image.

Is it possible to load one of the older google satellite images?

Like loading the older satellite images on google earth.

    No. But try Bing satellite.

No. As far as I know, the OpenLayers plugin emulates a web browser when downloading imagery tiles similar to googlemaps in a browser. Therefore, only imagery available in googlemaps are available for display in QGIS via openlayers plugin.

The historical imagery in Google Earth is different.
