Title: Heathrow Arrivals 25-7-11
Post by: redpaul on July 26, 2011, 12:52:39 AM

I usually take a trip to Myrtle Avenue every time I go home to West London but this time I decided to sit in my local park as Fulham is under the flightpath and watch the arrivals.So these were all around 10 miles from Heathrow. All taken with my Canon 7D and Sigma 120-400.

I'll start off with the Gulf Air with Bahrain GP livery which of course was scrapped.

Cheers Casper.
I'm probably gonna go on a day trip to Heathrow in a couple of months. About £66 return with Aer Lingus or double that if you include a hotel near Hatton Cross tube station and fly back next day.

The other alternative is BMI from BHD for a similar price, meaning you can take a bag in the cargo hold for free. :) About time a Heathrow trip was organised, it's one of the most logical airports in Europe for a trip ;)
 
Oh and great pics, interesting to see them in gear up configuration. Some interesting aircraft aswell, i.e SAA A332, Royal Brunei 772, Etihad A345
