Hi guys, this is mainly for the IST guys. Im looking to come out and shoot in September so any help and advice will be much appreciated, would also be nice to meet some of you.

Well guys, it's been a while since I posted anything here so thought I should get my local but up to the top, so here are a few pics taken on the 20th May 2008, enjoy...... Arriving to take Chelsea fans to Moscow. Regular Citation 525. Departing to Moscow with fans on board. Another Luton based machine. Netjets Europe. Nice Skyeurope. A visitor from Italy. Departing 08. Nice Isle of Man registered CL605 Heading home maybe? Gone now, RIP. Ryanair with one of their logos. Beautiful looking G4 getting airbourne. Regular Luton - Isle of Man service. And finally the DHL with an odd rudder. Thanks for looking I hope you enjoyed them

Nice shots Pieter, so sorry I could not be with you to enjoy the fun and iffy weather. Look forward to the next set

Nice shots Pieter, I would say the Aloha/transavia ihas returned off lease due to Aloha sadly going under

Sneeze, these photos are just superb, I really love the Air Canada T7, looks so clean, the silver Cathay Cargo is sweet too, great stuff keep them comming

Sadly I am working next saturday Pieter I was just going to message you about that, If for some reason I'm not I will let you know, anyways on with the photos... Thai heading for home. Icelandair with the weals tucked away already!! Rare to get this gem and in sunlight too. Two more form the new open skies agreement. Operating the new LHR - LAX. Virgin stretch. Qatar stretch. Nice special colours. This Air New Zealand is missing the fuselage stripes, I wonder why,any ideas? Nice JAL. Finally operating the Austrian flight was this little beauty. I hope you enjoyed them.

Hey guys, Thanks for all the kind comments, here is an up-date from my recent visit on the 1st April. Had some really decent movements ltely but the weather as usual has been awful, anyways on with the pics, enjoy Nice to get an Embraer. A6-EHH close up. Nice side on showing the full length. New open skies means we get a few new US carriers Lovely Air Canada stretch T7. UAL new colours Saudia on it's way to JED. Ok more to follow soon.

Nice catch, wonder if they will paint it into the new scheme or better still into the Star Alliance livery

I have to disagree I'm afraid Nick, the window frames are a great part of the original scheme, agree the cheat line should be more prominant but the rest is just lovely, it's only my humble opinion though.......... More to come soon guys.

Mr Kong that A380 shot is a beauty , Ian your shots are amazing, gota love that sky well done, it just goes to show you don't always need sunshine to take a great shot, top stuff guys.

Love the first C-17 shot, thats awesome, nice job

Cool photography, shame the sun was not out, nice to hear the tower in the background, nicely done

Thanks guys, again you are too kind. You are all most welcome, I will do my best to show you around, it may cost you a MCDonalds or two though

Thanks mate. Sure, I think these A320 are going though, G-MIDU was ferried to SEN for re-spray into Spannair colours. Such a shame about Ansett R.I.P.

I did not notice that, good spot

Thanks again for all the very kind replies,cheers Phil

Hey guys, sorry for no reply, I have been away for a few days, sadly not spotting though, so here are a few replies in one. Here is a nice contrasty photo of a BA B757 for TK Pieter C this spot is quite close to Hatton Cross train station, you just walk out of the exit with the bus station in front of you and take a left along the main road and you will find the spot easily, if you like drop me a PM and maybe we can meet up?Only if the weather is nice though Walter Sim, yes heathrow is not too bad for being spotter friendly by UK standards as long as you don't do anything crazy!!! I use a 75-300 lens and this is fine. I hope this is ok guys, by the way I am going to start a thread for LHR movements soon, like the AMS one so watch this space for hopefully some nice photos and nice movements............

Can't wait to see this beauty in LHR/EGLL, really nice scheme, great photos

Hi all, went to London Heathrow to catch the SQ A380 on its second day of ops, sadly the sun didn't play the game all the time but had a nice couple of hours anyway.
