Who stole my post?

What I said last night was - liners have never floated my boat but I am starting to look at them in a different light!! at least they are not all grey

Well done some really nice shots there...


XP I don't recall Jim asking for criticism!

Edit where all these taken at Heathrow?

[Trident man]

Yes Mayfly, all at LHR the best airport for civil aircraft in the UK....better than Manchester in terms of international arrivals and busyness..

More to be added oncei have edited them!

Fantasitc pics Neil. What sort of post production do you do?

[Trident man]

Thanx Matt,i spend a resonable amount of time editing on software i bought nearly seven years ago and the software is damned easy to use so i spend less time editing as you would using coral and the like.The key i have found using digital SLR is the depth of field ie the F stop...it's taken me a while to suss it out but still there are some shot's that need to be deleted!

nice pics Neil.

I'm planning on going tomorrow to avoid the TV and wedding , looks like they will be on 09s so taking off on 09R - can you (or anybody) recommend anywhere (with parking ) suitable for 09R take offs - I think Myrtle Ave may be too close so that they end up almost underside shots so need somewhere a bit omre side on. - anybody able to help please?

Also is there anywhere that you can get ground shots on the western end of 09R? - or is the fence blocking the view. I want to get some pics of the QANTAS A.380 which leaves c.12.00.

I know a couple of spots for 09L landings so okay on that side of things.

lastly - if I'm close to the fence do they make a fuss about steps being used (or are they any use anyway)?, I got told no steps within 3m of the fence at Stansted last week!
