Plane over London

[specialman]

I was Ebay's main photographer during this year's Great River Race on the Thames last week and spotted this as the boat I was on was ambling around waiting for the boats to pass.

A rather cool shot of one of EKs many A380 I believe they now have 5 of those beasts into LHR daily now

yep A380's are now departing and arriving at heathrow daily and British Airways have got a couple now but I have yet to go and see one take off.

BA's looks just the same as the rest with a different paint sceme...

They had an opertunity to really make it stand out instead its almost 'bland'....

Everyone is entitled to their thoughts I suppose... I suppose it has that kind of connotation... personally, I just saw a hulking great building with a plane breaking through the rainclouds

They have been for years have BA taken there second 380 yet I knew it was coming soon as it was returned to TLS for delivery lots of 380 variety at LHR I wonder if we ever will see a VS one

I like a bit of controversy. Unless they said it was just plain rubbish... then I'd be hurt

I'm not completely sure if they have a second one.

It's to be delivered in the next few days according to the only other forum I'm on

That St Georges Wharf? Planes like that used to annoy the hell out of me as they flew literally straight over my flat in Vauxhall (straight under where that plane is in the image, if I got my bearings right).

Love the composition.

Ok, in hindsight the comment I posted was in bad taste, but I take exception to YOU calling me a tit. Totally out of order so I'll await your apology.

And I take exception to you both behaving like boys in the playground so pack it in, no more comments either way.

Nice shot! I've skim read the thread and seen numerous references to Tits. You need to be careful as even the smallest bird can cause disproportionate damage to an aircraft during a birdstrike.

Top job,

Cheesy

 

[Chr1stof]

Agreed, even small tits can cause a catastrophe. Don't even think about big ones.

Like the shot by the way

 

[Bawbee]

Nice shot Pat

Was the timing totally accidental or did you see the aircraft approaching from the other side and timed your shot accordingly?

We were just holding position, waiting for the right boats to come into lens range, and I looked up and saw the plane just going behind the building so hoped it would emerge in view and not obscured by clouds.
