Well I made the leap and finally got down to LHR yesterday! but with it being the middle of October I wasn’t expecting anything like decent weather and low and behold it didn’t come anywhere near that.
After a relativly easy drive down the M5/M42/M40/M25 my Sat-Nav gave up around LHR telling me to “turn right, then right again” on a road where only left turns were available 😀 . I eventually found Terminal 4 and Ben (Airline Owner) and later on in the morning Joey (BY767) and so began a rather fun day of plane spotting 😎 😀 .
Here’s a short selection from the day, not the best in the world but I saw a hell of alot of ‘new stuff’ that day as you will see 🙂 .
Hope you enjoyed and thank for the ahem ‘navigating’ Ben :D.

A nice selection there Tom, the last Etihad reminds me of how I really have to get to LHR some time.

I particularly like the BA T7 and the Etihad A340 😀

Excellent as ever Tom, looks like the kind of weather I had when I visited LHR, and that was in August!
By: Future Pilot - 24th October 2006 at 21:42
Thanks for all the comments guys! 😀 and I never would of guessed you’d like the Titan Matt :P.
By: tenthije - 24th October 2006 at 21:28
I like the Virgin 346 with the new livery. The only one at the moment if I am not mistaken? Still prefer the older livery though! 😉
By: BHXlocal - 24th October 2006 at 21:25
Super shots Tom! Loving the last one 😀
I think I need a trip to LHR now! BHX just won’t do!
