Only aircraft that can be identified with no doubt, the BA Concorde is temporarly parked on the bank of runway 23, awaiting completion of her final exhibition place.

The photographer has positioned him or herself rather well.
I am able to locate many areas that do not show up on viewing other photos of Heathrow.
In particular the old buildings along with disused runways.(as mentioned)
on viewing the photo you can also see the distinct lay out of the houses along with their close proximity to the airport.

Having just visited London, via Heathrow, there is sufficient detail to recognise the roads we went on, the concord on the field, the new T5 building and the hire cat lots. Great

This looks like a maze! Can anybody tell me if the air-traffic controllers ever get confused?
