Central London
Was there an airprox over Central London at 1705 local?Very low level.
I was asked by a friend down there if I could find out if such an event happened today?He claimed to see two jets same direction but turning sharply.
I said I would endeavour to find out,starting here.I also pointed out that they could easily have been at different levels,etc,etc.
Anyone hear of anything?

Emma... if i had £1 for every phone I received when I was the Approach Control Supervisor at Heathrow from people making similar claims I'd be a rich man.
It's nigh on impossible for a human to distinguish the vertical distance between aircraft in flight. The different sizes of aircraft involved, the weather conditions, direction of flight, viewing angle, etc., all make it very difficult, if not impossible to determine an "airprox". Maybe two jets were heading in the same direction..... but what is a "sharp" turn??
Forget it..
