What a beauty! Well caught Niall, I think your British counterparts were getting rained on at Heathrow as it arrived.

That is awesome, doesn't that scheme look nice on a 747! Well caught Niall and thanks for sharing it.

I hope to catch it departing LHR tomorrow morning.

Great set of pictures Niall, you were blessed with a hint of sunshine for the takeoff shot of 'GC'.
