Incredible!

From a distance the aircraft look like a flock of birds joining the queue.

Great find Ray, it's an amazing piece of footage. I was surprised at how few an far between larger types were in the footage. Most aircraft appeared to be of the narrow bodied types.

I enjoyed it Buschi.

Neat and includes a lot in such a short video.

I look forward to seeing more from you.

Great footage Hassaan13 thank you for sharing it with us. I love the noise of the aircraft on the climb out. What was your filming location?

 

[Hassaan]

Thanks Aviador.

It was filmed from the grass area at the end of Myrtle Avenue, it's a popular spot for photographers.

Great footage of aircraft activity inside Terminal 2 at LHR

Nice footage Hassaan. To add media click on the film icon above in the post reply taskbar. If you hover over it's shown as "media".

A British Airways A 320 flight from Budapest attempting to land at LHR yesterday during Storm Doris had a remarkable escape from what looks like a severe case of wind shear. It looked for all the world that it was going to plunge nose-first into the runway but the crew reacted instantly to recover control.

The relevant action starts from around 1 min 30 seconds into the video which may take a few seconds to get going.

The above link won't lead to the video in the normal way. It's necessary to block and copy the URL. The video which is on a Facebook page (no need to be a FB member to view it - I'm not) really is worth a look.

Fascinating glimpse at LHR in 1964 in one of Rank's Look At Life series - you have to be really ancient to remember those at the cinema.

The full colour video shows LHR under huge development with motorway links, hotels, multi-storey car parks etc being built. There are also shots of the aircraft of the time: VC10, Boeing 707, Trident and so on.

In 1964 when the film was shot the narrator tells us that Heathrow was handling 8 million passengers a year soon to be 10 million. Towards the end of the film there are some shots of Gatwick, then handling over a million passengers a year and expected to increase to 2.5 million in 1970 and thereafter to 5 million.

Even then, we are told, Heathrow and Gatwick won't be able to cope with all London's air traffic in the 1970s, so we are given a peek at Stansted which will become London's third airport.

What they would have thought then at the prospect of Heathrow handling 75 million a year and Gatwick 40 million, heaven knows.

It's a good quality look back at Heathrow half a century ago.

Fine selection there, Jerry. I have a feeling this won't be the last time you will be videoing at LHR.
