Heathrow - BOAC 747 Banking

Post by Cessna954 » Tue Feb 26, 2019 6:13 pm

The BOAC 747 was off to Dubai today with a 12.35 departure. Not the best route for a banking turn out from 09R, but as I was up in West London and the weather was good (not great as there was lots of atmospheric distortion) I went along to the park at Feltham, along with numerous other photographers, to photograph its departure.

A sequence of shots from its departure.

Thanks for looking and once I've processed the others I'll put a post up.

I agree with what's been said above - fabulous shots, especially the second.

I'm looking forward to seeing the other retros as well.

In a rather cheeky moment I sent a couple of my pics from the first service to the BA media office and asked if they have any plans to have all 4 on show together and suggested what a good PR opportunity that would be! Unfortunately no reply though :(
