16. Saudi’s Skyteam, was really hoping to see this one.
17. Iberia operates a 300 and 600 serie A340 about once every day.
18. One of the two A330-300 from Virgin Atlantic that operates at LHR.
19. Sadly the sun was missing.
20. Etihad also operates A340’s and B777’s into LHR.
21. A quick stop at the fence, after our diner.
You caught some nice visitors, did you see the 747-800? I was lucky to spot that one when I was there in July.
Try to keep the plane in center frame, in many of your photo’s the aircraft is in the buttom part of the frame instead of the middle. Also I can see a lot of dirt on your sensor. maybe it’s an idea to clean it.

22. Regular visitor this C130 from the Algerian Air Force.
23. The Mini Adria.
24. Singapore Airlines 9V-SWG, Boeing 777-300ER towards Singapore, after the MAN rotation.
25.
26. Qatar Airways second daily.
27. A lot of construction work in the background, airport is planning a new terminal/apron and a third runway. All to reach 58 million passengers in 2025.
28. Emirates Airbus A380, A6-EDH departing as UAE50 to Dubai. We only waited for her to depart, when the whale pushed back it started to rain really hard.
29. And the last one taken in heavy rain.
Then it was time to get back to the hotel and have a good night sleep for the 8 hour drive home. This was the last day of my spotting trip, I hope you enjoyed watching it!
That departing whale is crazy! Did you have a filter in front of the lens glass? and how did it end? Nice shots
Excellent shots. What are the viewing facilities like at Zurich now? I know that the observation deck that I once used was knocked down some time ago, but there were plans to replace it?

Thank you very much for your replies. I’m allways trying to get the most out of the photos I take. The gear I have is a good old Canon 50D with a Canon EFS/IS 17-85 for taking photos such as 14 and 15. But most of the time I use my black stallion the Sigma 50-500MM APO/HSM. I’ve chosen this one above the Canon 100-400 because I like to make all kind of photos and I don’t like to be limited and begin at 100mm.
I do a lot of research at photo locations before travelling to the airports themself. This can be done via google maps/google and some different forums. You can also use this: http://www.scramble.nl/airports/index.html
I found out it’s very usefull and most of the time it’s well explained.
Again thanks for the replies, I will post Innsbruck and Munich this weekend.

Some nice visitors, well captured. Hope that I see the All Blacks livery to in august.
Nice shots.
I really like the tail of that 757, it’s like the northern light only a bit more rainbow ish.
Ok I did not know that strange, thanks for trying anyway.

It’s probably the language barrier. Just fill in the code press the red button and it’s done. The site sometimes ask (after voting) for a e-mail but that for the sponsor hosting the contest.

Thanks for trying but I think you typed the code wrong.
