Aircraft was parked on a remote stand by the fire station. Nobody was on board which is good. Got to feel sorry for Boeing mind…

Very Shocking footage. My thoughts are with those families affected; a great shame. RIP
The White A330-300 in the 7th picture is an Ex-China Airlines aircraft that was leased from Virgin Atlantic. The aircraft recently finished service with CA so has been returned to VA and is waiting to be repainted at Air-Livery into Virgin colours and reconfig to enter service most likely at LHR
Joe
your dad must have some nostalgic Orion pics then to share !
He might! I’ll ask him when I next see him; I’ve got a Orion Picture of their first 737 which was given to all the Pilot’s I think… Only 200 copies and personally signed by the chairman or someone 🙂
Nice Pictures! Really like the Orion Airways 737 🙂 It was the first Airline my Dad flew for as a Pilot and he really enjoyed his time there!

Nice! Am I right in saying first scheduled service of a 787 into LHR?
Joemicroman
I’m neither sadly :/ My Dad’s the Captain and the second FO recorded the takeoff and landing on a recent trip 🙂
Joe
Thank you all for your kind comments! I’ll try and upload some more tonight of my first time spotting at Heathrow! 🙂

That’s it! Got too dark after that, and my camera isn’t great.
Enjoy,

Very interesting set of photos! The owner of the 767 is Mid East Jet. 🙂 Just seen a picture of the interior of the plane… Not my cup of tea 😛

Sadly, just the A319’s will be painted in the livery. Not really a big fan of the livery anyway, no relation to the Olymipics and doesn’t really have any relation to the United Kingdom. Come on BA, get your act in gear!!

Thanks EGTC for the link, it really came in handy. Took some photos from the Esso Garage for a few hours and some have come out all right so a good afternoon all in all.

Great Shots! Really like the Thomson 757.
