Fabulous variety at Heathrow, as always. Love the El-Al retrojet.

What an amazing set Andy, some VERY nice special schemes there!

Hard to pick a favorite, the Saudi 777 has to be one, the 380 shot's, and the lovely El Al 787m but I do love the Jordanian 787 shot, which comes out well with that dark cloud background

Also confirms the Aer Lingus 320 is still in retro scheme, I heard that this was rubbed off and is now in the new livery but clearly it's a rumour.

Unusal to see a biz jet there too!

Great stuff, Andy.
