Did i see a DC-10 ?
Casting an eye across the LHR 27R flightpath at 20.55pm this evening 20th July, i was suprised to see the form of a DC-10 gliding down towards the airport. It didn't appear to have winglets, which would preclude an MD-11. Whose was it ?
The inner spotter is curious as you don't see too many of them these days.
Thanks

No tri-jets this evening
It's different profile was what caught my eye from all the other generic shapes that grace LHR daily. It would have landed at 21.00 approx. Perhaps it was a freighter or a flight coming for MX or non-scheduled
BTW i also 'spotted' an SIA A380 around 19.00hrs coming in. I thought that they only used the 380 for the early morning arrival (pre 6am) ?

If you want tri-jets, come on over to Brize! We have Aunty Betty Airlines vintage Trimotors and vintage DC10s provided by 'Cheapest Bidder US unfriendly Airlines'. Lots of 'em

Yes it was a DC10 on that day you mentioned and about that time. I was sat out the back of the Premier Inn Bath Road Heathrow when it landed. Dead sure it was DC10..............it said so on its arse-end, can't remember which airline other than remembering it was of African origin!

On a photography forum I go on to someone had photographed the Biman DC-10. Apparently the Biman DC-10's will be making more appearances at LHR in the coming weeks/months.
I spotted one coming over my house Wed evening - pretty sure it was Biman BG015 from Dhaka although I couldn't tell from underneath. A special thing now to see one of these over London!
