Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

[LHR] London Heathrow 18-03-12

Post by Wesley Guijt »

Hi guys,

I just came back from a semi-city trip to London. My friend and I were planning to spot untill we would drop to death, though unfortunately the weather wasn't cooperating. Saturday was grey at all times and rainy at some points so instead we enjoyed ourselves in the city centre. However, today started off great with a lot of sun and almost no clouds at all, which brought our butts immediately to the airport. Gradually clouds came in untill it eventually came to a state of where sun became more rare. In the relatively few hours of spotting we did anyway, we we are able to spot a good variety of airlines, aircraft and liveries of which many were new to us. The flights were also very pleasant. A succesful trip is all I can say and I'll let the pictures speak for themselves! By the way, sorry for the inconsequent sizes.

Some very nice shots.
Love the Emirates A380. Was this taken at Myrtle Avenue?
And where did you take shots 3,4,5,6 and 7?

A rather "photo-heavy" thread, but indeed the pictures speak for themselves... 8)

Thanks guys!

@ Jeffrey : That's correct!

Concerning the spot for the first few shots: It's not allowed to go and stand there. We didn't know that and got eventually sent away by airport authority. For the guys who want to know it anyway, it's the head of runway 27L and the spot is accessible by the Southern perimeter Road. Though, emphasizing again, not allowed to go and stand there.
