Capital West - aerial views
The following images are taken from the windows of aircraft on finals to London Heathrow. Heathrow has a North and a South runway, and when the aircraft are passing by (left to right) closest to us they are landing on the North runway. This is where the best photos are possible from when sitting in a plane, only if you sit on the right side of the plane clear of the wing. Make sure you wave to your neighbours as you go by!
