Photographs - Genuine or not?
The thread led off with the top pictures, and that was what much of the discussion was about.
For all posters, to avoid upsetting the elders of the forum
, it is best to refer to the post number when commenting on anything in a composite thread. EG 'CJ' needed to refer to 'HD's' pics at post #20.
Hopefully that way blood pressures can be kept lower.

An honourable move might be to delete the post .......
For the 225 fans, the Aircraft has been into Ireland a couple of times to my knowledge, a sight almost as good as a photo I have of six (6) 124's parked together, a little west of Dublin ..... a real photo, I hasten to add

Sellafield nuke farm blew up again today. You can see the radome in the background being illuminated by the atomic flash to the east while the Antanov is lit up by the sun in the west.

Photographs - Genuine or not?
I am not sure if this is the right forum (apologies if it's not moderator) but i was browsing the sky news website where i came across the following pics:
Do you think these pics are real? The only reason i ask is that the 2 jets seem to get awfully close!

Aircraft fly with a minimum of 1000ft vertical seperation. When viewed from below this can have the appearance of 2 aircraft becoming very close to one another. If you could view the above situation from the side it would look no where near as dramatic.
So I suggest the above is only uninformed media hype.

Look at these two pictures of the moon. Has the moon actually come closer in the second? Answer: no, it's an effect caused by use of a telephoto lens.

The aircraft are both A340s. Look at the distance between contrails of the Lufthansa aircraft - it's apparent that it is significantly further away (i.e. at least 1000' above) the Air France one.
The frequency with which aircraft 'seem' (to the uninitiated) to get close is vastly greater than the frequency with which they actually do (fortunately)!

Nothing untoward there - happens over my house almost daily! It's nigh on impossible for the average observer to determine the height of a flying object accurately; even controllers and pilots can't do it! The only ones who stand a chance are trained Met Observers.
I took a sequence of pics over our garden last summer. An ex-colleague said they ought to be used in the "Fear of flying" programme:
