Hi, I was at LHR yesterday evening and they were landing on 09L, no good i would imagine during the day if sunny.

Just wondered if anyone has ever considered parking the the “Business” car parks that run along the perimiter fence up the side of 09L?

Can you park there? And if so stay all day with your car and get some great shots…….you need to be a bit flush with the parking but £21.95 does not seem to bad for 24 hours, if they let you do it?

They are all the signatures of people that were backing the bid for the London 2012 olympics including Tony Blair.

lol…my theory is…if its cloudy and miserable weather ten they cme in from Central London o the RWY27’s…they suit me fine 😀 if its sunny…dont blo0dy bother going lol

I always find the trick (more often than not!) is to head round to the fence near the hotels after 1500 when they switch runways…I cant remember the last time I was spotting at LHR and they weren’t using this runway for TOs…. Must be luck! LOL..

Great shots Chris 😀 I ocasionally nip to the fence when im there…but theyre usually not on the runway that i would have liked

I thought as much hotelwise….

did you not nip down to the fence ? You can get shots like these(if you like close ups) from there..

The second shot, the BA 777 is so beautiful 🙂

So which hotel were you in Vrocking?

Renaissance Hotel

You never get moved from the Visitors Centre (closing down soon too!), as you are miles away from any aircraft! LOL! IMHO that is one of the worst spots at LHR..

A guide by Danny Hill can be found here (area 2 is closed and not accessible tho) – http://www.plane-mad.com/guide_view.php?guide=lhr

There is a visitors centre on the North Perimeter Road where loads of spotters…..spot, but you don’t get moved from there at all. There is other places but i’m not to sure on directions to there.

Nice shots. You know for that first Emirates one, how do you get that background effect?

300mm lense, and set the shutter speed to 320.
