RE: A little help please 🙂

I’ve got a pretty good idea that they were taken from the Pink Elephant car park. There was a big discussion about it when Travolta was due in, but I think its very expensive and minimum stay was something like 14 days.

Nice spot though, two of only few shots I’ve ever seen at LHR where aircraft look close, they usually always look so distant.

RE: Heathrow Visitors center.

The parking bit you’ve marked on the map, is that runway 09L? I think I’ve been there once. Problem is that I quite like the Queens building for views or photos so I need somwhere to park the car (cheaply) and then have easy access to transport to the center of LHR. LHR is the best airport for aircraft, but its too damn expensive, MAN costs nothing but petrol with fantastic views!

Train? Coming from Leicester it would probably cost a fortune, need to change to underground and therefore take quite a while too! Plus you lose the flexibilty of a car.

RE: PTV’s on narrow-bodies

Sounds good to me, definately think this is the way to go. PTV’s are a one off payment, cost a lot at the start and then a little thereafter. I think most of the charters would benefit from them, market them as something to keep the kids happy, as 4-5 hour trips are a long time for kids with no entertainment.

RE: John T’s 707

Unless it gets changed again, I’ll be at LHR on Sunday, didn’t know whether I’d have anything planned Saturday night but haven’t now, so looks like I’ll be there Sunday. Certainly get some shots and they’ll be up on my website very soon!

RE: East Midlands Airport

In that case, no problem. From the terminal turn right towards the hangars and DHL areas. You will go past the BMI hangars which also cater for third party 737’s so there may be something interesting around, check there first. Then carry in walking past the DHL centre. Once past there you’ll come to some traffic lights and need to turn right, after doing so Donington Park will be on the left. Carry on walking and you will pass under the landing lights, if you walk up the hill you will be at the spot I got the VS 346 from. If you carry on a bit further past the aeropark there will be a pub on the right (Nags Head) and walking to the top of here theres another good photo spot, but the light is better in the evening.

When you thinking of going to EMA?
