Thanks for the comments chaps.:)

…what sort of focal length do you need for the heavies?

Well I used a Tamron 70-300mm lens on this particular shot.

The location is great, but it does really depend on what angle the aircraft turn after take-off as to whether you get a good shot or not.

Thanks for all the comments so far.

I have had to upload the images again as some feedback I had suggested that the pictures were very heavily compressed, however they didnt look that compressed when I viewed them on my laptop…

As for someone who does not usually like football in general, I watched the Chelsea v Liverpool game last night with my housemates, and must say that it was the best football match I have seen!

In this era of losses, why would an airlne sacrifice a profitable route?

Agreed, seems strange to drop a profitable route, but I believe it is because of the way slots are issued at LHR, using a principle called Grandfather rights if I am not mistaken; happy to be corrected though.

Basically any airline that has slots at LHR has to operate a certain % of flights to their allocated slot. If for whatever reason the airline fails to achieve that, they loose the slot and it gets given to another airline so I would hazard a guess in saying that they dropped the BHX route in order to sustain the slots at LHR.

Also, because the value of those slots at LHR, compared to the ones at BHX (if its slot constrained, not sure if it is?), if it ever came to a point when the airline wanted to sell some of its slots at LHR to another airline, they would be able to make lots of money from it, and we are taking £millions (I think?)

Why dont they consider stripping out the interior and converting it into a hotel like someone (can’t remember who it was now?) recently announced…would use the aircraft and help to generate additional income in order to survive the economic downturn.;)

On most flights we have name change comments in pax bookings, eg: Bloggs/Joo Mr (First name should read Joe)

However this is not permitted on flights to the US. All bookings must have the full name as shown in the passport.

Yes, I assume you are right OneLeft, seeing as the airline I represent is a US based carrier, but still just a warning to those out there…its so easy to catch a wrong button on your keyboard (as demonstrated in your example above), so just take a minute or two longer to make sure you got it right in the first place to avoid any hassle and embarrassment at the airport!

I would imagine most (if not all) airlines charge for such changes.

Again, yes, I imagine so, however some airlines simply do not permit name changes at all and thus expect pax to pay for a brand new ticket, which can be a very costly mistake!;)
