Nice catches there Derek!

Love the AA oneworld livery. Do you know why the VS A320 has an EI reg?

It's a sub-leased aircraft from Aer Lingus they are using. Nice set, that overhead shot looks rather close!

Hello DNF
A great set of pictures, what a difference the sun and blue skies make. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the comments folks. The CityJet RJ and Etihad 777 were actually separated by 5000ft vertically and almost a mile laterally.

That's interesting. It's a remarkable picture, the RJ looks too small but as you say it's over a mile "under" and a mile away.

The other ones are pretty good too!

Here's a still from FR24 to show where they really were (probably) and where I was (the cross)

Thanks for that, that's quite remarkable. The brain (or at least my brain) is still befuddled. Is it shot of the week yet?

Good Lord no. I wouldn't have thought so.

They also using Aer Lingus crew and I would guess the 146 is at 30,000ft and the 777 is at either 35,000ft or 36,000ft, Awesome shots there

Last Friday, Runway 2 closed at 9.30am but the Emirates A380 used it for landing at around 12.30pm.
