Late decision to head up to Heathrow as the weather forecast was good and I wanted to go chasing a Qatar A340-600.
Thought the timetable showed one departing late morning, but that turned out to be a “normal” A330 so I waited for the evening arrival 🙂
Here are just a few of my highlights of a successful day. Will add a few more later but its hard to chose – just so many I liked :smiliegrin


Think this was Condoleeza Rice heading home. A few minutes later Radio 4 news said she’d left London after her breakfast meeting with Mr Blair.


This was certainly worth waiting for 🙂
Cheers,
Phil.

Superb shots, especially those Qatar and Etihad A340s.
I’ll be on an Etihad A340-500 in 9 days. 😎

The Etihad 340 is wonderful, I saw her 2 weeks ago whilst driving back from Surrey, she went over my head on approach to 09L, stunning shots Phil
