Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

London-Heathrow 28-04-2011 (photo-heavy, 36 pics)

Post by LifelinerOne »

Hello everybody,

hereby my first pictures from my two-day stay at Heathrow. Both days they were on Eastern operations, which meant 09L being used for landings and 09R for take-off. One advantage for Eastern operations is that they don't switch runways during the day, so I didn't have to move and could continue shooting landings. Spotting was done from a field next to Stanwell Moore Road, near Terminal 5 and the M25.

My pictures don't include the many, many BA's, American, Delta, Air Canada (well, B767's) and Virgin. But if somebody insists... :wink:

First off, a BA though, this special Oneworld-logojet:

Image

Next was Air New Zealand with this B777-300. I miss those swooshes on the fuselage, this is just to white:

Image

MEA A330:

Image

Nice colored B777-200 from Air India:

Image

Transaero is operating two flights a day to Heathrow, this was the first one:

Image

Air Canada can also be seen a lot, mainly with B767's, but also with the A330:

Image

BA is now also operating the B777-300:

Image

Air Canada is also using the extra long Triple Seven. I just can't warm to these toothpaste-colors...:

Image

Next up was this great looking Etihad A340-600:

Image

Nice little Star Alliance logo-jet from Contact Air:

Image

Another B777-300, this time from Qatar:

Image

And another one, from Egyptair:

Image

El Al used a B777-200 today:

Image

Biggie Cyprus:

Image

Smaller B777-200 from Air New Zealand:

Image

Skyteam logojet B767-400 from Delta:

Image

Very nice to catch this A310 from Biman:

Image

Hey, another B777-300... I catched this PIA at Manchester earlier in the week as well:

Image

Very good looking Royal Jordanian A330:

Image

TAM is also sending their B777-300's to Heathrow:

Image

As is Singapore:

Image

And ANA:

Image

Gulf Air is still operating some of these good looking A340-200's:

Image

Happy to catch the Aer Lingus retro:

Image

Wait... What's that? Another B777-300? This one from JAL:

Image

The Metropolitan flew nicely by with one of their EC-145's:

Image

Really good to catch something different than a B747 from China Airlines:

Image

Saudia uses the B777-200 to Heathrow:

Image

Special stickered B777-200 from BA:

Image

The second Transaero of the day:

Image

Korean Air is sponsoring the British Museum, hence the stickers on this Jumbo:

Image

Extra long A340 from Qatar on finals:

Image

Light was getting a little tricky, but there were still some nice ones expected, like this Kingfisher A330:

Image

And this Air China A330:

Image

Last photo's were two B777's. First this B777-200 from Asiana:

Image

And the day ended with, another, B777-300, this one from Jet Airways:

Image

Hope you liked them!

Cheers! :wave:

Almost, it is a 300. Gulf Air doesn´t have 200 series.
