LHR & A Few Other Places 14-1-07… HUGE Post!

Hi All,

Myself, Mark Winterbourne and several others had a bit of an adventure yesterday. Setting off from LBA at 2am we visited East Mids (twice), Stansted, Gatwick, Biggin Hill, Heathrow, Luton, Coventry, Birmingham and probably a few others I’ve forgotten about.

Not too many chances for photography at most of the airports (especially Gatwick), but we did get a good few hours in the splendid Southern sunshine at LHR.

Enjoy!

East Mids at 3:18am

‘a bit of an adventure’?? sounds more like a circumnavigation…:D

beautiful shots, and so sharp! ’tis nice to see the NEMA shot.:)

Thanks, Adam. I almost sent you a PM to see if you’d be around but then realised you probably have far more sense than to be at an airport at 4:00am! 🙂
