On the 20th there was a crystal blue sky most of the day, and after a great flight (my first flight directly to LHR) and a breathtaking view of downtown London I made my way to Hatton Cross, where I arrived just when the sun had moved around far enough. The first of many (for me) new planes was this Turkish A340:

The next ones are regulars at LHR, but I needed them all...

I was chasing Etihad planes for so long now...and finally:

This one probably is the highlight of the whole trip, although it's just a BA 757 (;
I'm so happy to have it in my collection!

From Germany...but I never got one of these before:

Ethiopian normally comes early in the morning, but was heavily delayed:

LHR definitely is 777-300 heaven:

On the 21st there were more clouds around, but still some nice photos were possible to take. In the morning this AA 757 came in:

Then the weather got too bad for 'real' photos...until in the afternoon the sun came back with dramatic looking clouds in the background at times:
