So, let us continue with a full day of photography at Heathrow. In total I captured about 182 aircraft. Here's a small selection of the day.
My day started at about 6.00 in the morning with a look out of the window of my hotelroom.
1. American Airlines B777-300ER N724AN arriving in the morning sun. I spotted many American Airlines' birds; 3x A330-300, 5x B777-300ER and 4x B777-200ER.

2. Air Canada is also an airline which can be spotted often throughout the day. Here's B777-300ER C-FITU on approach for runway 27R:

3. Heathrow is also an airport with lots of A380-activity. Next to, ofcourse, BA, Emirates, Etihad, Qatar, Thai, Malaysia and Qantas all operate the aircraft into LHR. Here's VH-OQJ:

After breakfast, I moved over to the Hatton Cross pedestrian footbridge, where I just missed the Thai A380... Bummer.
4. Definitely one of the best looking aircraft in American Airlines' livery is the A330-300, like this N275AY:

As the sun was getting in the way, I moved over to Myrtle Avenue to continue spotting. Arriving there, my small lense died. Not good! So some of the widebodies were photographed in a not so good position... :evil: But, I think I managed to make the most of it!
8. Heathrow is also the place to be for Dreamliners. Here's B787-8 N29606 of United arriving:
