Re: LHR July Part 1, Pics!
good catch on the Biman DC-10, Air India(Flyglobespan) B763, and Iran Air B747-100.. As for the Kuwait Airbus A300, is that a regular visitor to LHR?

Thanks, guys. It really was an amazing experience to photograph all the variety. LHR is highly recommended for spotting. However a lens between 18mm and 100mm is strongly advised for most spots believe it or not. I had a lot of trouble shooting with my 80-400mm and ended up using my dads 18-200mm most of the time.
As for spots, I used 4 mains spots which were all easily accessible from the Hatton Cross tube station. For 27L there is the bridge next to the tube station which was decent for arrival shots after 6pm and there is also a field next to the approach which is an easy 6 minute walk from the station. For 27R I used a spot located off of the perimeter road and located next to the BA hangars, a 10 minute walk from Hatton Cross. If anyone would like more details feel free to ask.
I'm about to post Part II.
