Hi BOAC,
We started the GA just below 50 radio and received landing clearance about 3 seconds later.
Not quite sure how moving off the runway c/line gave you a 'window full of a/c tail"?
The departing Aircraft out climbed our TriStar, so looking out of the Left window the tail seemed ever so close. If I'm placed in the same situation again - I'll continue to Land.
Still standing by for your "practical solution".
