    I LOVE coming into Heathrow. I'm always so excited to be in London and to see the river, the palace, and then flying low over the rooftops with their chimney pots and all the green, it's just wonderful.

    I’m from the US, I’ve only flown into London twice, one at Heathrow, the other at Gatwick……Heathrow is a heavily traveled airport and we had to circle around 30 minutes before landing…that was my first time and it was so exciting bc it was my first time to England, I was 46 at the time and can remember a line that “John Lennon” said in “Hard Days Night” a reporter asked Lennon: how did you get here (US) Lennon:
    took a left at Greenland……lol….

    Back when I was working I was a regular on the BA Shuttle to Heathrow, so done that countless times. I always tried to get a RHS window seat just for that view! On a clear day you could follow the entire route from Manchester - Knutsford, Crewe - Stoke - Birmingham - M40 - Chilterns, Wembley and then that turn onto long final for the Heathrow westerly runways.

    Great video - thanks for sharing. I've only flown into Heathrow twice and remember very little of it as I was 7 years old at the time. All I remember was how BROWN the fields were on approach (it was the middle of the 1976 drought). The second, time the approach was from the west and I remember seeing the burnt out shell of Windsor Castle (it was 1992 just after the fire, before they started restoration works).
    I generally flew into Gatwick or Stanstead when I was flying to London - nowhere near as picturesque as you don't fly directly over the city itself.
    The best bit of this video is the Brocken Spectre shadow of the plane as it goes through the tin cloud layer. This shadow with a halo around it is sometimes seen in foggy conditions on the ground and the strange thing about this phenomenon is that, if you see your shadow as you stand as part of a group of people, you are always in the middle leading to some people years ago to believe it was a supernatural/religious sign. See how the halo clearly circles where the camera was in the plane, just behind the wing!

    • @hannecatton2179

    I clearly remember flying along the Thames past the Houses of Parliament on that same approach some years ago but without the low cloud.
    4 years ago I made a similar film of our long low approach to Toronto’s Lester Pearson airport which I filmed. I will try to post it on here some day.
    But what topped it all was flying along the snow covered coast of Greenland in clear blue weather on our way to Colorado from Heathrow with the cliffs and fjords standing out like on a map. We flew over Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man on the way. So glad I had a starboard window seat and camera handy👍

    3:14 That's called the "aviator's rainbow". My first flight from a De Havilland T Mk10 Chipmunk was in 1987 from RAF Woodvale.
    The Flight Lieutenant told me about this. It's where the silhouette of the aircraft is projected on a cloud and you'll see a circular rainbow around the silhouette.

    Fantastic vid, thanks! Loved the whole thing. Covered my whole London commute back in the day. The best was flying over Kew. I’ve stayed/lived there a few times and I was delighted to see “There’s my flat!”, “There’s my other flat!” 4K makes a difference, seeing to that level of detail, along with the steady camerawork. Well done!
    From the other side, maybe someone was standing at my old kitchen window and looked up in time to see this plane coming in to land. I’d watch the planes as I did dishes, the traffic was continuous. The BA heavies are an impressive sight. But the sound of the planes was a constant background noise to be sure, but then so were the Tube and above ground trains a few blocks in the other direction.
    (I wonder how quiet it all became when things shut down due to COVID….another topic.)

    3 airports I used to love landing at.
    Heathrow
    Singapore
    And the old Hong Kong airport.
    All for different reasons.
    Heathrow, whether it’s day or night, is always spectacular, more so on a nice clear day.
    Singapore, as you are coming into land, you can see just how clean Singapore is.
    Old Hong Kong airport. On the approach, flying in over The Peak, then the rooftop of the flats below you. It used to be a bit of a sharper drop down onto the runway, this was one airport where you could not get it wrong, otherwise you was likely to end up in the drink at the end of the runway.
