Did anyone catch Channel 4 news last night?

There was a report on the retirement of the RAF's Canberra's after 60 years of service. These planes have been operating as photo reconnaissance aircraft. I mention this because there was a shot of Central London - Canary Wharf taken from the plane.

I still can't quite believe the quality of the photograph considering the planes altitude and position.

The link is currently :

The link seems a bit intermittent but there is also a link on the home page (towards the bottom right) at the moment:

Not strictly Leica - but well worth a look and perhaps they used a Leitz lens?
