Airprox?
Hi all. I normally only stick to rotorheads but have a query. I was sitting static in my car in Ewell today on the phone. Looked up and saw what looked like two heavies diverting from converging. Difficult to judge altitude difference, reckon both must have been in the region of 10k ft. I know that it was fairly close to heathrow. Both appeared to be climbing. Both seemed to be aligned. Could this be my error of judgement? I'm often in that area and never seen that before. Anyone have any ideas?
Probably both holding over Ockham VOR with at least 1000ft between them (or perhaps one was just leaving the hold) and at holding speed both would have had a high angle of attack giving the illusion of climbing. Nothing to worry about...

Glad to hear Doug E Style. Only fly helos and thought unusual as never seen before and no - wont post on ATC! Sure was all in order, but just looked like they were moving out from converging and probably well over sufficient ft between them, but had to ask.All the best. I'll return to the helo forum...
