Yeah I saw one of those Helicopters last night, blimming thing!!!! Talk about low! No more than 1,500ft above my house, 2000 maybe? Hovering above my house for about 20 mins.

The south East police helicopters are based at Fairoaks, I take it then? I managed to get the reg of the helicopter from last night — G-METD.

Heres a pic from it lifting off from its base:

I think this is the best element of LHR, it allows you to get as close to these aircraft as you possibly can. I remember going up there in March of this year, and they brought a Concorde across the road, and I stood directly under its wing, you could almost touch it!!!!

The closest to concorde I have ever been in my life… Nice experiance.

I have done it wth the 747 to but, even though it was good, having a concorde pass over your head at no more than 20-30 feet above, is just something eles!:D

Nice show of pics there Kev. Looks like it was actually quite busy there on that day, signs that Summer is on its way? :p “Not likely in this country, we skip summer and go to Autumn!” 😀

Good lot of Airlines there too. Its nice to see some of the lessor known/mentioned airlines, I.e, Eastern Airways and I think I see an Aer Arran aircraft in one of the pics too?

I like the pic of the new Aer Lingus c/s the best, the blue is deffinately the best out of the lot that have been done! 🙂

The old terminal, do they still use it at all?

Cheers Kev for sharing them woth the group. 🙂

Hey welcome aboard friend! 🙂

With it being a British Airways Museum, do you think a concorde will be added when they are retired?

nice. I cant wait until they apply (if ever) this c/s to a dc-10.

To me it don’t really look all that different. Just the big IB on the tail, which I have to agree with EGNM, looks crap!

Although I still think Ibeari need to do something about their current livery.

Yep they have to fly over London, especiallt to come into land at LCY… Just look at this approach!
