Thumbs up Chris, you're just fantastic!!!!!

Notice that even with full speedbrake applied the spoilers still rise on the downgoing wing
That's quite interesting, didn't know about that.

Your great pictures eventually shed light over a little known aspect of the 737.
Thank you for your effort!

Ps: The Training manual states on page 4.17 : "The use of speedbrakes with flaps extended should be avoided, if possible.
With flaps 15 or greater, the speedbrakes should be retracted."

Cheers, LEM
