Hi Kieran
I was only emphasising that we have this hang-up of essentially the strips moving down the display - but for what reason? Has an alternative ever been considered? After all, in most cases, we are probably looking at a runway situation where the traffic is essentially moving left to right or right to left in our vision but representing it with a vertically aligned display.
...all strips moving up? Is this including arriving acft as well?
I should hope that the aircraft themselves are going in the same direction on final approach and immediately after departure! - so yes!
I am not suggesting it, but what I meant was...

First airborne
Second airborne
RUNWAY END
Aircraft/vehicle(s) occupying runway
RUNWAY THRESHOLD
No 1 inbound
No 2 inbound
