How easy is it to identify the various bridges....are they unique enough in design, location to buildings, or in any other way, that there is no confusing them?
A very good question.

Just to recap, JB called visual with Vauxhall abeam 'the eye', and then adjusted course to the right towards Chelsea, but they look totally different, don't they!

Vauxhall


Chelsea



As you can see, quite different, HOWEVER looking at the bigger picture...



...you will notice that just to the East of Chelsea bridge is the rail bridge.
What difference does that make, you may be thinking..


Thanks to google street view;

Vauxhall Bridge


Chelsea Rail Bridge



No Bronx, we aren't trying to crucify anyone, just trying to understand why these things like this happen!
