As the current wx predictions for tomorrow are good, im going to be at LHR, if anyone is interested in coming down, I dont mind meeting up with people.

Chris Sharps said he may come and shoot either the morning or the afternoon.
Im going to be there from about 0600 to get the first arrivals and some sunrise photos...

If you are interested, post in here, also drop me an email and I'll send you my moby number so you can contact me if you need...

I wanted to go because I have finished my mocks now, but my dad said he won't take me. Haven't been there for a month now, it's so annoying.

Chris,

It'll be 27L landings before 3pm tomorrow, and 27R landings after 3pm (just the way I like it)

I'll be down tomorrow.

Listen monkey boy!, sun rises at 0730 and i gotta get into position for when the sun does decide to show its ugly face.

Henry, I'm gonna drop you my mobile number, i would appreciate it if you let me know what your plans are, via text or via email. My thoughts are to get some sun rise shots, but i hate those operations, as it only allows me chance for Ground to Air approach style shots and i HATE approach shots, departure shots arent much better haha...

I think a visit to T4 and 27L perimeter fence might be in order...

27R touch downs in the afternoon will look pretty cool.

You will be moved on from the 27L fence in no time-there are signs posted all along the road from T4 to Hatton X to say that drivers/pedestrinas are not permitted to stop there.

Hi all,

Why do weather forecasters bother? Especially BBC ones they seem to forecast worse than ever nowadays even though technology should be improving to help them forecast!

Cheers

Im currently at an undisclosed location somewhere within the region of london heathrow...

I can confirm that you ALL missed an amazing mornings shooting. The sun DID shine for near 4 hours. Its cloudy now so im going back home later.

Managed 500 pictures

Some pretty good photos.

This place i found is better than the bridge near T4, but i have just gotten moved on from there by hotel staff, so its not a concrete bolt hole for spotting at, might be another "discreet" location for us though.

If the spot you found is the one i think it is i used to spot (before i got into photo's) about 6-7 years ago.

I gave up after a while as the Hotel staff do become VERY snotty if you keep going there !!!!  Sad

With regards the weather. i Got up at 8.00 am and it was cloud. At 10.00 it was Haze so almost went. Decided not to, and a good job just aswell. By 11.00 it was thick cloud. Time is now 13.25 and its not improved !!! ....

Bet it will be sunny on Monday though when im back at work !!!!  Sad
