I saw IranAir 747sp on may 6th. I also belive that the Amiri Flight of UAE operate a 747sp which also visits LHR regularly

A bit of the usual Panic reporting here.

another link suggests this incident was much smaller

I would also be rather miffed at the site they took it from. Most sites have watermarking but clearly this site does not. Make sure that when you do upload its to secure sites only.

I dont think the problem is the picture being used but the simple rule of manners that state “if you want something,you should ask for it”

I have had dozens of emails asking if 1 of my shots can be used as a desktop etc and of course it is no benefit nor detriment to me so why not. I have also had Requests from a spanish magazine,I said that they could use the pic if they sent me a copy of the article so i know it is being used in a respectful manner.
Of course i never recieved it and in future i will know.
Recently a German advertising agency asked to use a picture of mine i agreed but for a fee,they are making money from it so too is their client so why not me? They were not willing to pay so i refused permission. This may sound greedy but I was the one who put the work in and yet would be the only 1 not to benefit.

Yes,Rob put his shot online for the world to see,but only that. If i go into a car dealership can i drive away with anything on the grounds that the dealer was displaying so therefore i can take?

I think its ridiculous,and have had a few arguments with Wizzair flight attendents about this.
What if no one pays for these seats and the flight is full? At some point during check-in these seats will be allocated to passengers,are they then going to ask for money from those sitting there when the airlines own staff have given them the seats? Do they keep those seats empty and put the passengers on another flight. and if the flight is not full and nobody buys the exit seats what difference does it make to the airline if a passenger sits on the exit or sits elsewhere and leaves the exit empty.This is just another way of getting more money from a passenger.

Love the 2 GF’s and the Edelweiss (i flew on this from POP-MAN)..

3 from me, 2 are LHR in sept and the other was a snapshot i took from the terminal in Dominican in 2005.

P.S. Ya have to be careful civilspotter,posting more than 3 pics can lead to all sorts of hassle in these threads.:diablo:
not from me BTW more the merrier IMHO.

I hope Open Skies are allowed. Dont want to upset anyone.

Have you noticed the airline comes from same place as most Man U fans..Asia..:D The reg 9M-AFC i thought 9M-UFC would be more appropriate.
