A good day over all – we had the sun for a while, and then the cloud, but all wasnt totally lost as the cloud did make for a few nice pics. The barage of BA and Bmi today though got very boring – i know its both BA and Bmi’s major hub, but that was all that was coming in mostly. I was happy to see the MEA flight – which must have been running late, as it didint come in until the early afternoon.
We also saw two Olympic aircraft today – the Plain white Jat 737 had the smallest sticker on the front, while a Malev 737 carried a pair of golden wings on the rear of the fuselage.
TAP was a busy airline at the airport to today – with 2 A310 flights and 1 320 flight.
Best aircraft of the day there for me was the Aeroflot 777 in my opinion – though an aircraft in the new livery would have been appreciated more. :p – I’ll see one, one day!
Anyhow – Michael thanks for the few hours out – was greatly needed after a few hard weeks at work.
Heres some pics from today:

Also:
With regards to the aeroflot flights into LHR – is there a bigger passenger demand now? They have, as youve seen, added the 777 back to the route, but before that on Friday, there was an A310 floating about with-in the airport too.

Great shots, hey at least you got Etihad which is still a damn rare airline – as for Aeroflot, you’ll just have console yourself with these, which I got earlier this year 😉 Ain’t life cruel…

Good photos guys. I thought ELAL were doing away with the 747-200?
By: T5 - 20th August 2004 at 20:50
Excellent photographs, Andy.
Nice to see you managed to get the Malév 737 in focus… I didn’t, and I even cut the nose and tail off! 🙁
By: seahawk - 20th August 2004 at 19:31
The United 777 is great

Some lovely shots Andy – the ones with blue skies and clouds are lovely. Adds interets to the shots.
Haven’t “done” any airliners for a while now. May try a trip soon.
