Looks like a close shave with the old trees in Russell Square :cool:

Take a look at Biggin Hill London Airport. Amongst others a B17, Spit, 2 Hurri's and so on.

The AC isn't casting a shadow that I can see.

I know, it does look a little odd but I reckon it is genuine. There's a whole discussion about this over at www.pprune.org (http://www.pprune.org/jet-blast/444028-mystery-aircraft-over-russell-square-london.html).

I also found a cool kmz file which works with Google Earth. It contains all currently known aircraft caught in flight and is quite fun to explore. You can get the kmz file here (https://groups.google.com/a/googleproductforums.com/group/gec-transportation/attach/9cde1c43d03afef6/All_Aircraft_in_Flight_Date_31st+Jan+2012.kmz?part =3&authuser=0).

The Lank is parked at Biggin Hill, along with Spits, Hurri's and a couple of 109s. The Red arrows are just landing:
