This photo was taken through the aeroplane window during a flight from the UK to Bermuda. The airline was new at the time and it's full licence had not yet been obtained, so it was restricted to staying within a certain distance from land. Preumably as some kind of insurance against crashes until the licence was fully granted. Although, I'm not sure what kind of *assurance* this is if you crash near Greenland!
