    Flying over Glasgow

    I think you were actually flying over London, and what a great view you had!
    Your view looks north and shows Nelsons column in Trafalgar Square near the bottom right hand corner, with the National Portrait Gallery just above it. Cockspur Street runs for a short distance in a north westerly direction from there, turning right into Haymarket takes you north to Piccadilly Circus, from where Piccadilly runs off in an easterly direction towards Hyde Park Corner, with Green Park further along on its south side. Regent Street runs off north westerly from Piccadilly Circus and curves to a northerly direction then intersects with Oxford Street which runs west to Marble Arch. In the bottom left of your view, the window frame just stops us from seeing Buckingham Palace - we just glimpse a segment of the big roundabout at the south-west corner of Green park on the opposite side of which is Buck Palace.
