Dropping some relatives off at Heathrow tomorrow morning and thought I might take the camera in order to try and get some take off / landing shots.
Does anybody know if there are any good locations or is security too tight now?
Thanks

Try the visitor centre - overlooks the main runway with a purpose built observation area.

Depending on which runways are in use you can usually find groups of spotters by driving around the perimeter road.
Go up the Eastern end, near the visitor centre and you should see Enterprise car rentals, park in the opening for there. It's near a roundabout and where the planes drive over the road. From there you can walk and stand directly under the flight line and have Jumbos coming in to land, theyll be about 50ft overhead! :cool:
Taken with my phone! :o
