Seyshells 767 LHR

This is the second time this baby has made me look in awe as it climed out from 9r. The amount of runway it it didnt use is amazing. She was rotating before she got to the second intersection (102 i think). Does anyone know where she is off to. She took off approx 20,05ish........

Thanks in advance

The old Block 102 was the first intersection along the runway from the threshold - about half way down the narrow part of 09R. I'd be astounded if it got airborne by there...

At a guess, a short hop over to CDG?

BTW, it's Seychelles.

HD my mistake, not the old 102 it was the second intersection she was up by, Bloody outstanding...

Rainboe, point taken however, i hope your not going soft in your old age i expected more abuse..... JOKE..

Thanks again Gents

Here at our international airfield in Limbabwe's deep south we have regular Cargolux B747-400s departing almost empty for a 30 min hop to ELLX. That's quite a show too. It would be extra fun if they were to use TOGA.

N7 or N6? Thats at least 1000m and its airbourne, In all honest Ive never seen a plane get airbourne before 09R N5E, even if Airbus.

When taking off in the Concorde off 09R, It always get airbourne coming up to SB3, thats what I call outstanding, as the real thing does it too.

Heathrowairport you are showing your age and lack of life. A VC10 has carried out exactly the same as the 763 tonight on a ferry flight to Brize. You need to plot up more by 9r and get some more stuble before posting.

Might be flying to Luton for maintenance as Air Seyshells has been using LTN for years. S7-ASY flew LTN-LHR on the 3rd.

UkDean,

Were did I say it was not possible? "Ive never seen a plane get airbourne before 09R N5E, even if Airbus." I said Ive never seen a plane get airbourne before N5E off 09R, plus the fact that Im not sad enougth to go to Heathrow Airport everday to witness this as a spotter, so liven up it doesnt mean I say that It cant happen means that it wont and never has happend. I may be just an enthusiast but what has my bloody age and facial hair got to do with anything?

Lack of life? What do you actually mean by this, trying to say that Im messed up like and part of Broken Britain, You being 35 should act you age instead of telling a 16 year old that he has a lack of life and to grow facial hair, when most people who know me personally know Ill go very far. Lack of life, thats why I took a Maths GCSE 365 days earlier than I should have and I did work experience at Airbus UK living In London travelling to Bristol, waking up at 4am and travelling to and from Filton getting home having dinner and a nice bath and going to sleep at 9PM and getting up at 4am for the next week, I really do have a lack of life, considering how many 15-16 year olds travel 240 miles a day, 1200 miles a week just to do work experience, not many infact 99.9% of the UK Teenagers have not done that.

I say no more.

Enjoy your next plan to put someones young hopes and dreams down, becuase they have no facial hair and there age.

Yeah - Most of SkyEuropes a/c were taken back by the leasing company.

OI!!! Nought wrong with spotting young man. As for sad, that's wasting all that time travelling when someone smart enough to be doing the MASSIVE challenge that is 2009 GCSE ought to be savvy enough to get a cheap room in Bristol and stop wasting so much time travelling.
