Very good job,Tom. Is it not just astounding the amount of traffic you see at such a busy place?
I remember my “first time” at LHR as a 12 year old spotter, only airports been to before were Glasgow and Prestwick,( in those days you could have 4 747’s some DC8’s,707’s and MAC Starlifters sitting around PIK,which i thought was a lot of heavy metal!!) arriving by coach into the coach station at LHR you really can’t see much until bounding up the stairs of the Queen’s building,and the whole place opens up before your eyes, and seeing countless 747’s,707’s DC8’s Tristar’s DC10’s never mind the hundreds of “wee” stuff (Trident’s, 1-11’s,DC9’s etc..)and of course seeing those Concordes too.a memory that will live with me forever.
(of course, nowadays, i find myself falling asleep hehe)
