London Heathrow - 24th January 2015
My first visit to Heathrow, on a bitterly cold Saturday. The weather was supposed to be fantastic and happily the forecast was spot on, so I headed over on the tube to Hatton Cross and spent the day at Myrtle Avenue.

Re: Antonov An-225 at East Midlands Airport - June 12th 2014
Thanks all - I was very happy with it myself!
Canon EOS 7D and a 24-105mm. This was at 24mm, and the image is virtually uncropped (just a tiny adjustment to even up the framing).youth wrote:Lovely sharp image, very nice! Just out of interest which lens were you using?

Re: AN 225 due EMA 12/6/14
Hopefully someone can correct me, but there doesn't seem to have been any sign of this leaving Riga yet?

"Miracle on the Hudson"
I've only done a quick edit, but one of the highlights of the Carolinas Aviation Museum was the A320 that landed in the Hudson.

Re: Finally caught A6-EYE at Manchester
Lens is working well for you Phill - shame the sun went in though!
Emirates A380 "over the shoulder" is very nice, pick of the lot for me.
See you this weekend I expect

It was a gorgeous sunset tonight indeed - even the Ryanairs are looking nice!
You should have come over the Aeropark and said hi!

Re: Very Belated EMA 14-07-11
Sam - I've been past on my way to the Aeropark most Sundays, and there is the odd occasion when it is not there - so yeah I guess it does!
Never seen it moving myself though.

Re: Moroccan CL-415 arriving at Manchester
A nice shot, but surely if it is in Moroccan Air Force colours, it belongs on FC?

Re: Fantastic Finkenwerder - Part2
That last photo is awesome! Such a wierd aircraft the Beluga.
Good catch on the fully painted Korean A380 too - not seen any shots of that too.
Our day at Finkenwerder was not quite as good as this - although I did find out that they have a great medical unit on site!
