 A visitor from France posted Tue January 8, 2013:Someone clicked their fingers and then this magic 747 sort of just appeared out of thin air. Unusual moment captured here, lovely aircraft too! | |

| A visitor from - posted Sun November 27, 2011: I love this pic. | |
 A visitor from Thailand posted Sun November 27, 2011:No, it's not flying through a cloud (nor breaking the sound barrier, of course), that's the condensation vapor created by the low pressure over the wings on misty days. | |
 A visitor from Finland posted Sun November 27, 2011:Great photo! | |
| A visitor from - posted Sun November 27, 2011: What an amazing apparition. I imagine that you were surprised to see such a beautiful bird emerging from such a dank, colourless fog! | |
 A visitor from United States posted Tue October 25, 2011:The image reflects the pure wonder of flight. The aircraft appearing from a hole in the sky. If only Wilbur and Orvile could have seen the wonder of their creation. | |
 A visitor from Canada posted Mon March 28, 2011:Nice Photo. Five Stars, although this is not braking the sound barrier, it is simply coming out of a cloud. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed March 23, 2011: I'm not an aviation expert. However, so many posts seem to suggest that people think this thing is breaking the sound barrier here....with the flaps and gear down?! I don't think so. Nice shot nevertheless. | |
| A visitor from Australia posted Wed March 16, 2011: Easily 5 star, plane just seems to be coming from nowhere, look I'm half invisable, woo hoo.. | |

| A visitor from - posted Thu July 22, 2010: So beautiful... | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed July 21, 2010: Wow, awesome!!! | |
 A visitor from Austria posted Wed July 21, 2010:A 747 with flaps extended will never break the sound barrier, don't you think? ;) The "fog" over the wing comes from ambient humidity. The air flowing over the wing loses its pressure slightly, thereby cooling down and thereby increasing relative humidity to the point where it reaches 100%. This is simply a local cloud forming over the aircraft and it immediately vanishes behind the aircraft when the air pressure increases again, thereby raising temperature, lowering relative humidity below 100% and then the water vapour is no longer visible. | |
 A visitor from Indonesia posted Wed July 21, 2010:Nice | |

| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat January 21, 2006: This shot is great, I love how the vapor is just one big ball engulfing the rear of the aircraft, and how its lazily falling off of the flaps. Sensational Shot. | |
| A visitor from Canada posted Thu January 19, 2006: Excellent! looks eerie. | |
| A visitor from Finland posted Thu January 19, 2006: Very nice shot of the 747. It is not every day one captures moments like this. A very beautiful contrast. Keep on the good work! | |

| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu January 12, 2006: The half photo from the fog is great | |
| A visitor from United States posted Fri January 6, 2006: This has got to be a once in a lifetime shot. It almost appears to be from a "Twilight Zone" story. | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu January 5, 2006: Must be the best picture on this site. A one in a million chance to capture this lady descending into Heathrow. | |

| A visitor from United States posted Thu December 29, 2005: Cool!!!what a shot... | |
| A visitor from Netherlands posted Wed December 28, 2005: My English aint that good but I'll try. I like this photo because it was taken when there was a lot of waterspray(?) on the edge of the wings. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed December 28, 2005: I've seen that with fighter jets breaking the sound barrier, but I didn't know a 747 could do it. Cool! | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed December 28, 2005: Looks alive | |
| A visitor from Sweden posted Wed December 28, 2005: The perfection of timing. | |
| A visitor from Germany posted Wed December 28, 2005: What a pic! | |
| A visitor from Brazil posted Wed December 28, 2005: The photo is simply an art picture. I think the highest point on it is the light. Look how it provides the exhaust with an amazing effect...oh My...no more words... | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed December 28, 2005: A fantastic shot, probably one of the best I have seen! | |
 A visitor from Dominican Republic posted Wed December 28, 2005:Amazing shot. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed December 28, 2005: Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Wed December 28, 2005: I admire everything about the photo. First of all the British Airways is absolutely enormous. Additionally, the wind coming over the wings is fascinating and the exhaust coming from the engines is boss. | |
| A visitor from Belgium posted Tue December 27, 2005: Sharp photograph - it is rare to see condensation on a civil jet | |
 A visitor from Latvia posted Tue December 27, 2005:Very beautiful! | |
| A visitor from Latvia posted Tue December 27, 2005: Very buetifol! | |

| A visitor from Brazil posted Mon December 26, 2005: Great shot ! | |
| A visitor from Canada posted Mon December 26, 2005: This big bird just cruzing out of the fog appears to be blasting through the sound barrier!! perfect timing. An amazing shot!!! | |
| A visitor from Netherlands posted Mon December 26, 2005: You see now the elliptical lift distribution over the wing, because the landing configuration comes with the greatest pressure difference between the upper and lower surface of the wing. Cheers, Nice pic!! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Mon December 26, 2005: NICE | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon December 26, 2005: MMMMmmmmm, This is it!!! I'd love to see it as a panoramic picture. Anyway, Thanks Stuart! | |

| A visitor from Germany posted Mon December 26, 2005: Nice shot | |
| A visitor from New Zealand posted Mon December 26, 2005: Wow mate, lovely shot, nice angle, nice everything. Airbus Shmearbus! | |
| A visitor from Mexico posted Mon December 26, 2005: Great picture, but with all that condensation... It is normal that the vortex of the wings doesn't make any effect in the cloud? Or produce more condensation? The sound barrier it's simply unthinkable. That aircraft cannot reach it and the flaps are down. | |
| A visitor from Mexico posted Mon December 26, 2005: It is very difficult to make such a shot. It's perfectly clear, excellent detail. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Mon December 26, 2005: Excellent shot, but does this happen that often? | |
| A visitor from United States posted Mon December 26, 2005: The lighting, the viewing angle, and what appears to be condensation over the wing makes it look surreal. | |
| A visitor from - posted Sun December 25, 2005: Simply magnificent. | |
| A visitor from Germany posted Sun December 25, 2005: WOW.one of the impressive pics ever of a 747. | |
| A visitor from Germany posted Sun December 25, 2005: WOW...what an imprssive pic! I ask me where the backpart of this big bird is:-) | |
| A visitor from Italy posted Sun December 25, 2005: I have never seen a picture like that...I Am really impressed by that so many congratulation to the photographer!! I hope to take a similar shot in the future....I'll training myself to reach this one. | |
| A visitor from Malaysia posted Sun December 25, 2005: Good combination of pressure and vapour(look at the dark cloud) to make the fog 'coming' out of the wing.Anyway it is a great shot. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sun December 25, 2005: AWESOME shot Stuart!! Wish I was there to capture this excellent shot!! Thanks for posting it!! We always love these kind of different photo's , keep up the great work!! | |
| A visitor from Sweden posted Sun December 25, 2005: The best photo of a 747 i have never see. Simply beautyful... | |

| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat December 24, 2005: The amount of posts has almost trippled since I made my first entry. That just goes to show how good this pic is that everyone has 2 say something about it! | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sat December 24, 2005: To our German friend who has said it was a fake, I can assure you it was not as I was stood next to Stuart when he took the photograph along with 10 or 12 other people, at Myrtle Avenue. It is a once in a lifetime shot which Stuart executed superbly. Kevin Murphy. | |
| A visitor from Thailand posted Sat December 24, 2005: Nice shot by the cameraman!! He must be lucky to take that photo because that kind of pictures comes only once in a while. It looks like a computer-edited work | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sat December 24, 2005: I've never seen anything like that with a jumbo. | |
| A visitor from United States posted Sat December 24, 2005: A great plane coming out of the london fog with engines gently coming to a slow down and ready for reverse thrusters! | |
| A visitor from Germany posted Sat December 24, 2005: Open vour eyes this must be a fake | |
| A visitor from Germany posted Sat December 24, 2005: Komm, mal ganz ehrlich, das Ding is'n Fake! Mit dem richtigen Tool zeichne ich auch noch 'nen Nachbrenner rein! | |

| A visitor from Malaysia posted Fri December 23, 2005: Just the perfect time to catch that giant!! Good job!! Although, I wonder what the people were thinking when they came out the cloud and saw the airport so quickly?? | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri December 23, 2005: First of all i just exclaimed (silently) F**K !! a more elegant reaction is that the picture is just "stunning!" but why is it stunning? Well, the 747 gives the impression of not only bursting out of the cloud but also out of the photograph itself, it has a real 3D effect. I think the thing that gives it this impression is the contrast between the white of the fuselage and the darkness of clouds also the darkness of the aircraft underside and wings against the white of the vapor over the top wing surface. | |
| A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri December 23, 2005: The amount of posts has literally doubled since I made my first entry. That just goes to show how good this pic is that everyone has 2 say something about it! | |

 A visitor from Denmark posted Thu December 22, 2005:Not even close to the sound barrier. Condensation like this happens when heavy aircraft is flying relatively slow, and has to produce much lift, and when weather conditions are right.
