Great photos. The Tristar is still such an elegant airliner, and the last shot is beautiful with the moon in the distance. 🙂

Hi guys,

I have a short question for you. Is it allowed to use a scanner in the UK?

I’m pretty sure this was discussed recently and according to the Law, using a scanner is illegal. However I’ve yet to hear or experience anyone being questioned or arrested for using one, so you’ll be fine but to be sure, hide it inside your coat etc.. 🙂

Best of luck with that. Ours is no longer in operation.

Hopefully for Sunderland’s sake they won’t get Sam Allardyce – can’t stand the man and his tactics, unless you enjoy watching big thumping balls being smacked 50 yards down the pitch. 🙁 🙁

I’m extremely concerned as to how so many of them managed to get into such a dangerous location. If a bunch of amateurs can get through a fence by cutting through it, then what sort of message does that send to the ‘professional’ terrorists? Seems Stansted is now an easy target.

Also this sort of stunt does absolutely nothing to help relations between spotters/photographers and the police authorities, who will now presmably suspect anyone who is hanging around the perimeter road. Such a shame.

Oh, and shooting them achieves nothing unless one of them starts running towards a plane and directly endangers live etc – agree with GA 100% on that one.

Excellent photography there. Lovely lighting throughout, especially the Aer Lingus A320 which contrasts nicely with the sky.

Excellent, crisp and vibrant photos. Pick of the bunch for me is the first one.

Nice A380 pics, Jon. Has been ages since I’ve been to Heathrow, so excuse my ignorance in not knowing where these were taken from. :p. Which runways were in use?

Would love a trip there soon but as soon as I finish uni for Christmas on Saturday I’m straight back working for the following weeks. Plus I’m broke as well. Not good. I’ll feel like such a complete beginner again when I finally do go spotting again!

Tom 🙂
