On June 6, 2001, Martin took this photo at 1500 feet with Robert piloting. On the left is the 1856 Widnes-Runcorn railroad bridge. On the right is the Silver Jubilee arch bridge completed in 1961. Just to the right of the arch bridge is the former location of the Widnes-Runcorn transporter bridge. It was demolished soon after the opening of the Silver Jubilee bridge.
