As per the ‘fog catch-up’ flights last week:
I love those huge GE90 engines 🙂
Great shots mate G-LSAB looking fantastic!!
Agreed 😀 Great shots Chris!
Anyone shed any light on why the BMi 319 was there? or have i missed something….again? lol
Don’t worry 😀
It was operating a ski charter to Sofia
Remember A380 is not the equivalent of two B747s or two B777s so if the majority of flights are full combining two flights is not possible without losing capacity that normall is used.
Though (slot issues notwithstanding) a flight could be replaced with an A380, whose larger size could accomodate more premium seats, which is where the money is made on these flights.
Nice shots Tom 🙂 You got back before the weather went nasty then 😀
Fantastic thread to view – great idea 😀
Here’s my not so great offering, but hey I’m no photographer :p
Taken at Dublin in May:

EDIT: Should have said, I’m not really sure what this shot was meant to be of 😀
BA fly 11 flights a day to New York from London, they could reduce those numbers if they fly that route with a A380 and use slots left over to expand its Heathrow operations.
True, but frequency of service counts as much as capacity on routes like these.
Top work lads 😀
Three shots from me tonight of a quick BA Shuttle flight LHR-MAN. No landing shots I’m afraid as I was battling against a strong crosswind :p
With the jetty attached:
Taxiing to take-off:

Maybe OneLeft can give some reason. Can you give a reason as to why then Comet flew BA1387 she got the ‘breakfast wrap’, but when I flew on BA1389 I only got a cereal bar? Is there a cut off time for ‘proper’ food? 😉
Hiya Tom,
I’m not 100% on this but I thought flights departing before 9am got a proper breakfast.
Still need OneLeft though :p
Its Tom Fellows lol
😀
