hereby my first pictures from my two-day stay at Heathrow. Both days they were on Eastern operations, which meant 09L being used for landings and 09R for take-off. One advantage for Eastern operations is that they don't switch runways during the day, so I didn't have to move and could continue shooting landings. Spotting was done from a field next to Stanwell Moore Road, near Terminal 5 and the M25.
My pictures don't include the many, many BA's, American, Delta, Air Canada (well, B767's) and Virgin. But if somebody insists...

Next was Air New Zealand with this B777-300. I miss those swooshes on the fuselage, this is just to white:
