Heathrow approach time lapse

Excellent video. I’m down at Heathrow nearly everyday with work. It’s always interesting seeing them on the approach, and when it’s slightly quiet, they alternate doing a “swing over”. Great stuff.

Great video, made me think of these:

Near the end of the video one of the planes jumps the queue and cuts in !!!

Disgraceful – he must have been in a rush.

It always surprises, me the high ratio of narrowbodies to widebodies. You would think with the slot constraints at LHR (and landing fees), you would see a lot more widebodies.

There has been talk from BA in the past of upgrading core routes like Frankfurt, Madrid and Rome to the 777. Nothing has come of that yet though, I believe they will be flown by the smaller 787.

Don’t the wing spans on the A330s and 777s look great!

I love the illusion of aircraft coming in onto shorter approaches apparently jumping the queue, but then filter back into correct order.

Definately an unusual video, worth seeing.

Awesome video, they almost look like toys the way their tossed about – must have been a windy day? 😀

That’s pretty cool.
