RECENT NEW ACTIVITY @ LHR
LHR Photography
Not sure if I am posting to correct forum ! Planning a trip down to LHR for some photography. Anyone know of any problems currently ? Propose to use Myrtle Avenue location, just wonder if anyone has encountered any problems with Police etc.
Look forward to any advice given

Runway alternation
Can't help with the situation on the ground, but bear in mind that currently Myrtle Avenue is no good for photography during the weeks when only the northern runway is in use.

Heathrow announced yesterday that as from 2nd August, it will return to dual-runway operations between 7 am and 8 pm on weekdays and all day at weekends. The usual alternation programme will apply when on westerlies.

An RAFA400 went over London south of the LHR glide-path at 7,000 ft early evening making a good din which livened up the neighbourhood somewhat. It seemed to be bumbling around several airports in the Uk during it's training sortie this afternoon.
The reason is probably that yesterday, for the first time since the lockdown began, the daily movement count exceeded 500.

I wonder if the airport will start to open more of the car parks now that there are more flights, and maybe start to reduce some of the short-term parking charges ???

I believe the timing was always to start dual ops this morning,not sure why the feed didn't capture it. Presumably it's so the works team have sufficient rest time before re-starting the night work from tomorrow night Mon to Fri nights 8pm to 7am.

How about the other side of the "recent activity" coin? "Recent lack of activity". While at Heathrow yesterday, I found myself wondering if China had closed. Nothing arrived from China at all. Today seems to be the same, no Chinese flights scheduled. I can see Chinese aircraft flying all over the rest of the world but nothing in the UK. Has somebody said the wrong thing?
