Heathrow on the day before lockdown

Post by wiggy » Sat Apr 04, 2020 5:03 pm

Highlights from a trip down to Heathrow on what turned out to be the last day of freedom for a while, the 22nd March. Very happy I stayed as long as I did in retrospect!

Yes, near enough Dan. The departures are from the field at the end of Shakespeare Avenue.

nice ones Denis, and perfect timing too.

Cracking shots, love the A380's and the TAP 330 and 787 shots :thumbs:

Haven't seen the Etihad special yet, jammy you for getting it!

Andy - Quiet indeed! I've had the Airlive webcam on for the approaches yesterday, long gaps but could have done with living on the approach line to cop 5 Alitalia A330 serials and pictures, and the Loganair ATR that seems to be going in while LCY is down

Unfortunately Andy not really near enough to anywhere to get decent shots during the lockdown in Reading. Only consolation is that there isn't much to shoot now!

Stay safe. Denis.
