Seeing as no one looked like turning up to open the field, I sat in the car with Plane Plotter mobile running. I saw the French AF A330 coming north and the Aer Lingus A319 heading east and thought " that looks close". Not sure how much altitude they had between them but you can see from this how close it was, and how fortunate I was to get the shot.  IMG_7534 by brownieboy27, on Flickr |

The Frog was slightly higher Jeff as you can see because the focus is on the A319, still close though. Do you reckon there's a 1000ft between those two? Hard to say isn't it? There certainly wasn't much lateral distance between them.

I did a playback on PlaneFinder - according to this EI-EPS and F-RARF were never very close, and at their closest point EI-EPS was at 12975ft and F-RARF at 20000ft! You obviously have evidence to the contrary!

Think how much bigger an A330 is than an A319. That and the fact the A330 is well out of focus, show it is a lot higher than the A319.
There is no reason to think Planefinder playback is wrong.

Bear in mind that these two popped up on Plane Plotter fairly quickly and I just thought they looked very close. They passed one behind/on top of the other so it might have been my perspective from where I was standing. But it did look close and just made a half decent photo anyway.
