Quick Half Hour At Heathrow Before I Head To The Hotel.

  

    So today I headed to London for a training course, which will continue tomorrow. Luckily it's not that far from Heathrow. My bosses gave me the choice of which hotel I would prefer to stay in, and of course I chose the premier inn on Bath Road. But luck wasn't on my side  today with the aircraft landing on Runway 09L. I found a small lay-by just on the other side of the M25 motorway. it wasn't the greatest place to spot, but it was good enough with the help of flight radar

    Here's what was logged from around 1630 on approach to runway 09L:

Late Summer Early Morning Visit To Manchester

 

    Well it was back to my second home in the north this morning, Manchester Airport. So after a quick up at level 13 on the terminal one multi storey car park, I headed round to the south side viewing mounds. As I've said in my previous blogs when the sun is shining and it behind up there is no better place for me in the United Kingdom for plane spotting and photography.
