Hi Don,

Yes, this project is going to be a rather special one I feel! I saw the last flights and landings at LHR 24 Oct 2003 plus the Filton event on 26th Nov from beside the runway. Now have one of my
18x12 inch prints fully framed of the touch down of G-BOAF (3/4 front port side) view with main gear on the deck and the nose wheel with a long way to go yet!!

Plenty of spray and reverse thrust in action and for me a fitting pic of the great white birds final return to earth. I can still remember how cold I was following the 'superb' downpour and hail storm around an hour before her landing..but I soon warmed when the long approach was started towards the runway and my camera had never worked so hard to capture the moment.

Take a look at this one.

Cheers for now, best regards.

Dave.
