The massive arrays of turbines in the Thames Estuary and the North Sea.
Wadden Sea Islands
The chain of Dutch and German Frisian islands, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Wilhelmshaven
The deep-water port and naval base on the Jade Bight as you cross into Germany.
For the best view of London, hope for an easterly departure. During summer sunset flights, the left side avoids the direct glare of the sun, making photography of the North Sea islands much clearer. Early morning flights offer soft light on the German plains.
