Was going back home to Cork last Wednesday night for a family occasion so booked myself in to the Long Stay Car Park at Heathrow under the approach to 27R an hour early in case something interesting would come along......................

Light conditions played ball as well so very happy traveller.

Rounded off the trip with this shot of an An-12 departing Cork Saturday lunchtime.

Both excellent catches for what was ostensibly a non-spotting trip.

Nice Antonov but the Airbus is beautiful especially in those lighting conditions.

Great catch with the A340 Denis that's one on my list still to catch

Damn I do like those A340-600s

Great shots..the old An12 is nice too

[PorkScratching]

Excellent shots of both a/c.

Stunning shots, love the Azer livery, wish the 787 would come in an hour earlier to LHR!

Wow!! What a double catch! Superb AN-12 but a cracking A340, looks brilliant in that livery

Well done and thanks for sharing these
