Yeah that sounds about right. The last time I visited LHR I was graphing 09L head-on approach shots, and the sun was directly in front of us at 18:54 so anytime after then would be good I’m guessing?

There are two Japan Government 747s at LHR at the moment. Both due to go on Wednesday, so hopefully the weather brightens up by then.

Let me know the next time your planning to visit LHR, as you never know, we may bump into each other.

Cheers,

Cheers mate, those last two are just awesome.

Out of interest were you using your 70-200 or 100-400?

I certainly need a bit of practice when it comes to air shows. I found myself at Duxford last weekend, panning objects that were moving in excess of 300mph. Only came away with a few dodgy images, so it wasn’t all bad. A 500mm prime would have been useful though. Lots of people were using 300mm 2.8s.

Any more LHR shots for us?

Cheers mate,

Alex

Some more great shots.

Did you take them through the fence, or are there any gaps where you can get shots?

Cheers,

Alex

There are over 10 wizz air flights every day into Luton. The flight schedule usually works out that 4 different a/c should be seen operating the routes.

Wizz Air have recently taken delivery of a new A320, HA-LPJ which you may have seen if you were lucky Peter?

Nice pics Peter!

I didn’t make it to luton in the end as my eyes were glued to the footie on TV. 😮 I hear there was a good intake of biz traffic though.

This looks like the same location I went to last month:

If so, it’s at least a 2 hour walk from the terminal!
