Once I'd picked my coffee mug off the carpet, I took a snap of the TCAS for posterity. Just grabbed the camera from it's storage location by the side stick...
AARA 8 is capped at FL 160 as at the eastern end, just east of the CP is a segment of Dutch delegated airspace, base of FL175, so that drives the top of Area 8 as well as Y70 to the south. You can operate higher in coordination with Swanwick, but if the weather is nice, there is no need to get in the way (and Swanwick are already maxed out in this sector, hence the incident).
