Nothing seemed to be better than a great sunny day at Hatton Cross to get my head free of all the things that happened recently...so I just had to go there again! And it worked out just as planned (;
On the 20th there was a crystal blue sky most of the day, and after a great flight (my first flight directly to LHR) and a breathtaking view of downtown London I made my way to Hatton Cross, where I arrived just when the sun had moved around far enough. The first of many (for me) new planes was this Turkish A340:

The next ones are regulars at LHR, but I needed them all...

A nice surprise...Star Alliance colours on this Croatia A319:

I was chasing Etihad planes for so long now...and finally:

This one probably is the highlight of the whole trip, although it's just a BA 757 (;
I'm so happy to have it in my collection!

From Germany...but I never got one of these before:

Ethiopian normally comes early in the morning, but was heavily delayed:

LHR definitely is 777-300 heaven:

On the 21st there were more clouds around, but still some nice photos were possible to take. In the morning this AA 757 came in:

Then the weather got too bad for 'real' photos...until in the afternoon the sun came back with dramatic looking clouds in the background at times:

These two days were just great...!!

Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. 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. |
