Nice screen shot Grahame as 'b9' is me.
This reminds me of a 'close encounter' in the US back in 1987. We were on a Northwest DC9 flying Memphis-Miami and I had a window seat on the right hand side. During the flight I just happened to notice a 'speck' heading towards us and within seconds it was passing (flashing really) to the right of us at what seemed like maybe a thousand feet higher and a distance of about 500 metres and it too was a DC9 (of Delta). As you say, the approach speeds are incredible.
