Dist:0.1km<br/>The runway at City Airport is on the 'peninsula' between two vast docks (Royal Alberth and King George V). THese are the landing lights at the east end.

Dist:0.2km<br/>City airport is in the distance, with these lights crossing a patch of derelict concrete yard between the runway and the southern end of the Steve Redgrave Bridge. Albert Dock on the right, King George 5th Dock on the left.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Showing (nearest to furthest) Templar's House, Shepherd House, Redbridge House, Marley House and Longbridge House. The bridge to the right (just in view) carries the Docklands Light Railway.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Note the windsock, to the right -- there is a strong north wind blowing so the plane is going to have to take off across the wind, not into it (you wouldn't do this if you had the option, but here the only available alignment is east/west). The pilot will need to ascend rapidly to avoid the tall buildings ahead.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Seen across Albert Dock, the viaduct taking the Beckton branch over the A112 is typical of the steep gradients on the DLR network.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This row of pontoons along the south side of the dock creates an inner channel which I am guessing was for smaller craft to use for trans-shipment. Useful info on the dock accompanies Kenneth Yarham's pic. [[1522626]] so no need to repeat.
