737/767 West to East (above LCY) at < 2000ft today
Just seen a dark coloured 737 or 767 go from West to East above LCY. Looked like it was climbing (nose up attitude), and sounded quite loud. Any one at Thames Radar know?

Thanks

Are you sure it wasn't the A318 due at LCY today for steep approach trials?

OK, maybe not that dark then, it was very hazy!

Great it's finally happened!!! Any photos of the approach? the nose down attitude would've been the real eye-catcher.

An ambitious title if you can't tell the difference between a 737 767 and A318!!!

Herbie,
Hardly, considering all I could make out from where I was standing was a 'bigger than normal' twin jet above LCY!
