After a “non parallel” downwind leg (45°), the Captain starts a SINGLE turn at 600 feet (600 !!!). While turning and descending, it remains at the perfect level (“2 white – 2 red level” at the pappi lights, left side) and, here, almost on the rwy it still has a serious and unusual bank angle.

Yeah there have been a number of jump seat shots recently on anet, and I know of one person who has managed to wangle his way inside the cockpit.
I am not surprised the photographer chose not to name the airline though!

But how did a Belgian photographer get on the flight deck of a civil airliner post 9/11? P45 time again if anyone in the UK allowed that!
Better amplify that for the non-Brits. A P45 is a UK form stating the amount of tax paid, on TERMINATION of employment

Absolutely in agreement with Moondance. This sort of thing is eventually leads to AAIB involvement.
