A Freezing Cold Few Hours At London Heathrow!

 

    After the weather the other day made me cancel my trip to Manchester I headed  in the opposite direction and finally made it to London Heathrow. With the weather planned to be still cold and frosty, clear skies and lovely winters sun I was hoping for so good photograph opportunities. An early start meant I had to de-ice the van before setting off. Whilst on route flight showed Runway 27R was in use for landings.

    So I headed to the premier inn on Bath Road and set up camp here. I know that I would have the sun in front of me, but to survive the trip I would need hot drinks a plenty. A quick look on flight radar before I headed down showed Kuwait Airways was sending in a Airbus A321Neo before lunch. For me this would be the first time seeing one of these in this livery! Later on in the day flight radar was also showing American Airlines Boeing 777-300 N735AT in their Flagship retro livery. This was on my must see list for 2026. Hopefully this wont change!

    One Thing that did change and personally for the better was LOT changed their Boeing 737Max8 to SP-LVF which wears the Star Alliance Livery. I arrived at a very cold and frosty London Heathrow around 0800 and stayed to roughly Midday.

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
