Heathrow Spotting Day 3

[Moin]

Red and sunburnt more than ever but the spotting continues unabated. Alot of the subjects are repeats and I also decided to give the little narrowbodies some attention and took pics from some different angles.



















































EVA 777 go-around:





A7-AEB, again. We're inseperable.






EVA 777 back after the go-around.




And lastly, what could have been one of my best shots of the day which was sadly ruined because I zoomed in too much. Hope to catch this one again after a few days:

Nice pics Moin, when you by BA 747 hangers next time, try to look for "G-BOAB" there, it's parked in the engine test cell behind one of BA B747 hangers. It might be hard to locate at beginning but i'm sure with some look around you would be able to spot her....

Moin, You even captured the AF A380. Must have been a pleasant surprise, but it seems Oxon still eludes you. Perhaps you can zoom-in on T3 car park next time!

Nice work.

Is that a regular Air France Airbus A380 scheduled passenger flight between United Kingdom and France ?

If yes, then it must be one of shortest scheduled passenger flights for the giant A380.

^^ I think AF must be using A380 for this route for crew training purposes.
(I have travelled ISB-LHE on a PIA 747 and that is quite a short route as well).

G-BOAB is parked where it cannot be seen. Only part of its tail is visible.
