Final part of my recent LHR trip.
Woke up to peer out the window at the QF A380 taxiing in…. oh no… they had changed to RW09!! not a favourite, so quickly off to the 09R end…long time since i had been here, and found the excellent new ramp from the M25 to Terminal 5 a fantastic hill not far below level with the landers… excellent place…. Best spot at LHR now???
Anyway on with the pics:
These were taken when aircraft used to actually fly into Heathrow!! remember that,guys?
Finally. I would like to dedicate my (average) shots to the memory of a fellow former GLA spotter David “Muff” McLachlan who i found out had died while i was on my trip to LHR and who will be laid to rest this afternoon.
R.I.P. my friend.:
More to follow later………………………..

Brilliant set of shots. I am pretty much like everyone else, need to get to LHR sometime in the near future.

Some really nice images in there, Scotty. The Air-India, Sri-Lankan, Virgin, Air Canada, TAP and Turkish stand out for me. All very nice. 🙂
Sorry to hear of your loss as well. 🙁

Thanks guys.
Yeh the Bulgarian… blooming shame, tbh don’t know why i bothered shooting such a bland aircraft. I think all unliveried airliners should be banned from European skies (replace them with IL76’s:D)
Michael: No probs at all at that hill. was parked on the road underneath, right on the pavement as were about 40 other vehicles,cops drove by a few times without batting an eyelid, also they passed on the access ramp again no worries.. there was even an ice cream van stopped at the bottom of the hill for a while!!:eek: A fantastic spot indeed…wee bit windy, but great.
Hey Richard: a bit OT, are you by chance going the Quo McVention in Scotland this year? I am doing the sound and lights and playing with my band at it again.. really looking forward to it.

Great shots Scotty..what’s the story with the white tail A320
I guess Bulgaria Air can’t afford a paint job 🙁 , i saw a Bulgaria Air A319 when i went to LHR on 8th, in plain white colours. 🙁
Nice pics though Tartan. 🙂

Excellent shots! I take it you had no hassle from the police at your new spot?
I can’t wait to get back to Heathrow in the next couple of weeks. It has been far too long – 9 months – since my last visit!
