... well graphically speaking anyway!!!

ANA 747-400 inbound London Heathrow, while I guess Lufthansa is on his way to the USofA.

Great capture!

Where were you? I guess the 100% crop shows the A330 clearly! Good ident though!

Hi Al;

Kew Gardens... It's directly underneath the approach for RWYs 27...

I was supposed to be seeking out Autumn/Fall colours - but there wasn't much to be had yet...

is that a dash400 747? seems like its got single slotted flaps (or maybe they arent fully extended?)...but its got wingtips. how confusing.

Hello kaitanium;
Yep - it's definately a -400... To give it its full Boeing customer moniker, it's a -481.
Kew Gardens is still about 12 miles from the threshhold, so full flaps won't be in play for another few miles - normally...
