Qatar A-380 at LHR
My London trip was coming to an end so I wanted to spend some time at the Myrtle Avenue field. Forecast was for excellent weather. Sunrise was shortly after 5 a.m. so I got an early start and got to the field around 5:15 - and people were there already! The bad thing was the sun rose almost directly behind the landing aircraft. We went en masse to Hatton Cross Underground Station and found some better angles. After a bit the sun got higher and was less harsh so we went back to the field. Beautiful day just sitting there watching life go by - until I fell asleep in my chair. I decided to return to my room for a proper nap. I regret that now since a bunch of cool planes landed and I would rather have shot them outdoors. Hopefully there will be a next time soon.
I took these photos in mid-May 2022.
