Very good pictures there. In April I had the pleasure of going on a Helicopter tour of London and we flew close to LHR, which allowed soem excellent views of ground trafic and inbound/outbound traffic. We flew right over LCY aswell, which didn't look at all busy on Easter Sunday.

Could you advise the type of camera used to take those shots ? - very impressive.

PM if necessary.

Aha.. That's part of the answer to those truly fantastic pics Alan. My toilet roll tube with cling-film over each end is simply not in the same league!!
