The photo was taken from the ground when we stopped to refuel.  The tug and 
glider are to the NW of the airfield, IIRC.

Or this, from the control tower at St Mary's Scilly (EGHE; 49.913280N 
6.29200W),  earlier the same day (2003:07:12 11:27:40 GMT):

Working from the orientation of rwy 33, behind the camera, I guess the azimuth 
of this shot is about 240 deg.

Hey!  I just tried and failed to simulate the first shot with the command line 
fgfs --start-date-gmt=2003:07:12:16:04:13 --airport=EGTP --fog-disable 
--disable-clouds --disable-clouds3
I even removed my ~/.fgfsrc but I still get a dramatically clouded sky.  I 
seem to remember detailed weather startup parameters being mentioned, but 
they don't appear in fgfs --help --verbose?
