Heathrow 18-09-2019 B.A. & Virgin A.350s

[andygolfer]

with weather like today's I just had to make the effort to get to Heathrow before the evenings draw in too much. I also wanted to fill a few gaps before the winter schedules start so off I went. I took loads but have only edited a few so far (more will follow as soon as time allows)...

i spent the morning and early afternoon at Feltham Park hoping for some obliging bankers (mind the auto-text if writing that on a phone)
G-XWBA is operating a daily flight to Dubai at present which meant a fairly straight departure unfortunately....

Virgin Atlantic's second A.350 arrived from Gatwick yesterday so today they operated 2 flights to New york using A.350s so I was lucky to get both of them

G-VPOP turned very early so I got a near head on banking shot

an hour or so later G-VLUX made the more usual turn out and gave a bit of a topside....

I'll try to get some more done tomorrow but I know my wife has a job or two lined up, I suppose she deserves a bit of work from me after swanning off all day today - it was worth it though

C&C welcome

Wow!

Cracking shot's Andy as always

That Virgin A350 look's strange, mind you so does the BA one. Strange in the way of not used to seeing the liveries on this, will become normal eventually though!
