A few weeks ago i did a citytrip to London with a couple of my friends. Because i don't visit London every day, i extended my trip with couple days to visit London Heathrow for some planespotting.

After a smooth flight from Schiphol i got the first surprise of the day. Some nice gouverment planes were parked at Heathrow for the Queen's diamond jubiliee.

The extension of your trip was certainly worthwhile. A very nice collection of different planes and different operators. Well done and thanks for sharing. :D

Hello.

Great shots, esp. the evening shots of the Azeri and American.

Where did you take the pictures from the 27L?

Best regards,

Christian

@ Stubenfliege 2, My first set of shots (2-12) are taken from Myrtle Avenue (near runway 27L). The second set of shots (13-29) are shot from the Renaissance Hotel. This hotel stands next to runway 27R (aprox. 300m in between), and when you have the right room you have a great view of Heathrow Airport (and runway 27R).

This is a photo (@24mm) of view.

This hotel is quite expensieve, but (for one night) it's a great experience.
