Photograph of your house from BA flight

Another photo competition.
Here’s a recent photo of where I live taken from a BA flight last week.
(I took a screenshot of the image to remove the location data.)
Feel free to add your own photos, and have a guess as to where.

I'm going to guess somewhere in the vicinity of LGW. Dormansland, or somewhere like that?

I have one! We had a very unusual western approach into Faro back in June, we flew all the way down the Atlantic coast past Sines and then turned and flew right over Caldas de Monchique, and I saw the house.

This used to be easy when I lived in Twickenham, and in Geneva - pretty much every flight, if I was sitting in the right seat. Bit harder now. It's only happened once, and I had to use Didcot Power Station to help guide me. (And technically, it would have been ineligible, because it was on AA metal...)

Not the clearest picture I've ever taken, but I lived in the centre of this shot until 2 years ago. Fairlight cliffs on the coastline, Ore at bottom left. Hastings is further left out of shot.

Living previously in central London makes this game easy. The yellow stars show two locations where I used to live; mainly in the upper one.

This exercise would be really challenging for residents of Beijing because airplanes aren't permitted to fly over Beijing. I thing most of Washington DC is also a no fly zone. Anywhere else?

A bit of a long distance shot, as I was on the 'wrong' side, before the turn in towards NCL.

Living in Ealing this is a bit of a no-brainer. So much so that I don't think I've ever done it

I used to (2009) live at Docklands-Canary Wharf london and could always see my apartment when on approach to LHR, lamenting it would take me another 3 hours to get there.
