Who knows A330Crazy - maybe BAA and LHR have found a way to accomodate aircraft spotters !

-Lovely shots there Andy, as I've already said to you. For some reason I really love the Austrian scheme, so I'd say that's my fave.

-Thanks for your comments all, much appreciated. Suffering a little with the camera at the mo - as you can see in some of the pics, little dust spots of them. :(

Im using a Canon 300D with a Sigma F4 50-500mm Lense at present.

-Superb shots Andy, shame I couldnt get up, but it was a trade off between the Virgin today, or the Air India on Tuesday, my fuel wouldnt stretch to both :(

-All looking great, I guess you haven't had the camera in for a sensor clean yet Andy ?
Nice to see some sunshine and leaves on trees too, looking forward to that stuff arriving in Scotland some time soon. :)

Took a trip out to LHR for a little while ths afternoon - got there at 1:20 and was lucky enough to have nabbed the last space in Myrtle Avenue.
Main reason for the visit was to hopefully catch the "Birthday Girl" - Yup, Virgin's specially painted aircraft for the celebration of their 21st Birthday.
Here's a selection of pics.
Enjoy!!!
OK-DGM
At Last!!!!!! Ive finally got to see the new livery! AP-BAK.
So I couldn't just take one picture of her.
6Y-JMM - Looks lovely when you get some nice weather!
A6-EYX, and at last i finally got a nice picture of an Eithad Bird!
A busy day today it was for Egyptair, as well as this 777 (SU-GBS) they also sent in an A321 too.
Is this the new LHR Control Tower?
D-ABIC - Lufthansa seemed to dominate today whle i was there - nearly out numbering the amount of BA flights.
The Bmi Baby logojet up high.
VT-AID - The second AI flight while i was there (The first was VT-AIF)
Royal Jordanian A340-200 up high - Notice the shadow being cast across part of the contrail.
One of the very few left in a World tail - G-BNWB.
G-CPEN - One of many BA 757's seen, though sadly the Blue Peter one was not about. :(
G-VFAB - Here come the "Birthday Girl". - Note the 21st Bday balloon on the nose.
Tail section only, showing you the design... looks nice with the sun on it - though is it me or has it already begun to peel? (Sorry about the tree!)
OE-LDA - Sporting the new colours. Looks nice.
Thats all of em - hope you liked! :)
