My second day of spotting at LHR starting at Hatton Cross station to catch the MH A380 arrival at 6am, was still dark but I just wanted to see her.

I enjoyed every one of those Maikel! Some great pics, especially the Malaysian 380, and the Biman 777. Had you included an Egyptair 777, you’d have got 10/10…….just kidding;)

19. On the Airbus A310 it looks even better!

27. This Air India Boeing 777-300 was behind an Etihad Airbus A340-600. Because the A340-600 is so long the tail of the Airbus wasn’t clear of the runway in time, forcing this beauty to go-around. Those GE’s sounded like a present from heaven.

30. Then it was time to leave towards our hotel, when we walked past the approach lights we saw that the Korean triple was on the approach.
