I heard Z3A26 working Swanwick on 371.55. He was 53mile north and the EasyJet was at FL80. He closed within 2 miles by which time the EasyJet was down to 2700ft descending into Stansted. It was IMC all the way down. He eventually saw him at 700ft. Then climbed to FL160 into a racetrack while he spoke to Hotspur.
