The viewing area used to be outdoors. It has since been closed by the BAA 😡 However, I find it best to go down to the end of the runway, you can see my pics on other thread. From airside in the terminal there is also a bar which takes you up quite close to the action, through glass of course.
Nice shots. RIPConcorde, yes that is Transaero. Unfortunately it didn’t come up to the top holding point yesterday, so I couldn’t get a close up shot of it. But you can see it at the very right of this shot.
Very very nice shots! This puts my LGW ones to shame…..ah well I will get a DSLR one day! Really like that Varig, great work
Have you got the original Britannia? I’ll show you what I mean.
Nice shots Britannia! You certainly got the nack of it now, just one comment. If you’re using PS, on the second shot of the Titan Kingair, try ‘sharpen edges’ rather than ‘sharpen’. It doesn’t always work, but tends to sharpen just the outline of the plane and therefore it will not look as grainy 🙂
BigJet: No I haven’t seen OOOB recently, sorry.
1. Another new EZY
2. BA 737 on finals
3. Nice bright one of Astraeus 737-300
4. BA 146
5. Northwest turning onto runway.
And that was it I’m afraid!
Just gotta few more from yesterday. Most of them are similar to those already shown, but then I did take 150 photos! First of all though, are the links to two of the Travel City Hphotos. They jumped the queue and were accepted last night as they were first in the database. I put them further up the thread, but the quality is much better in these ones, particularly in the second one.

3. Shiny!
But if you’re on about the one turning onto ther taxiway with the TCX to the left, that was G-OOBC! Sorry, just realised what you were getting at!
Thanks everyone! Bigjet, there were numerous FCA reg’s. LGW is their second base after MAN, and so most of their fleet operate from there. Yesterday, I saw G-CPEV, OOAI, OOAU, OOBC, OOBD and OOOZ. I once spent a whole day at LGW and got nearly all of their fleet, yesterday I was only there for about 4 hours.
Thanks RIPConcorde and Andy!
Thanks Davforr, yes you are very close to the holding point on the 08R end! Here’s for the last batch. First is an FCA 757 turning onto runway with Thomas Cook A320 taking off. Next is Emirates A340-500 and finally is Novair A330 in new cs.

Here we are, this is one tacky livery! In my opinion, the last one is the best. Nice angle, sun caught it just right. The full size one that has been uploaded to jp looks much better.
The widebodies.
