London Heathrow, 26 June, 2017

After leaving Farnborough, it didn't take long to reach West Drayton and raid the Aviation Hobby Shop, after which it was down to Heathrow for the rest of the day. 

They were approaching from the West, so I set up camp on the grass bank by the fianl approach and enjoyed aircraft from all over the world. I hadn't been there long when probably the day's most interesting movement clattered overhead, Coastguard AW139 G-CIJX:

The rest of the traffic was more mundane, although it is always good to see one of Kenya Airways' colourful Dreamliners:

And one of the highlights of an evening visit to Heathrow is the Iberia A.340 up from Madrid:

My visit took place the day after the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, and A340 4K-AZ86 joined a company A319 on flights bringing people back from the event: 

In the morning, Heathrow is a non stop procession fo airlines from North America, in the evening it is flights from the Far East that dominate, including Malaysian A380 9M-MND:

Farnborough, 26th June, 2017

Farnborough usually offers some interesting traffic, albeit it can be quiet at times.

So what was it going to be like on a Monday morning? Falcon 7X SE-DJL was an excellent spot:-

The Global Express is a favourite - ZS-TDF was a pleasingly exotic example:- 

Smoke from one of G-RAAA's engines saw one of the pilots getting out to investigate further, the fire brigade being summoned, the aircraft returning to the terminal and it finally departing some three hours late. 

All in all, an excellent visit with some interesting aircraft. I left at around 1330, heading to Heathrow via the Aviation Hobby Shop where I stocked up on the annual spotting books.
