Hi all,
After making a last minute decision last night i spent today down at Heathrow. I was there from sunrise to sunset so there will be plenty of photos on JP soon enough hopefully.
Anyway i thought i’d post a couple of photos of Emirates brand new A380. I’m not sure if it has been into LHR before, it was only delivered on the 30th December. I was in the field for 09L arrivals and was expecting this to land left. Credit goes to Darren Varney for shouting me to say it had changed and gone to 09R. After a very quick dash in the car and then on foot, i arrived there with seconds to spare and this was the result.
Taken with a Canon 400D + 70-200 F4 L


Thanks for looking 🙂

She’s a beautiful bird alright..they’ll be as common as the 744 shortly
Give it a year and another two or three operators, then yes. We should enjoy these early days before we start craving the next new thing…787 ???

For once the BBC got it right! It was like that from sunrise to sunset. Shame the daylight only lasted around 7 hours!
