Wembley stadium's arch visible in the middle distance

Looking towards central London, as we turned south

South coast of Brittany, and the mouth of the Loire

Somewhere in the middle of the Bay of Biscay

This is just T4S, the satellite terminal

This is the main T4 building, about 2km from T4S (on a shuttle). Each building's 1km long.
