Remarks: What a shame Air India's B747's don't frequent LHR anymore. Such a beautiful livery looks outstanding on the 747. This is another for our Indian counterparts. In 1600px
Remarks: Its Christmas eve eve, bitterly cold at Manchester and light is fading very fast. So what did I decide to do? Night shoot at threshold of runway. To get to this location I had to walk across 2 farmers fields and along the nature path. Not one aircraft stopped long enough for me to get a decent night shot, it was so quiet that every a/c was given clearance to take off without waiting. Just before the sun dipped below the horizon I grabbed a few shots of Cathay Cargo whilst she turned to line up. The low sun turned the fuselage from silver to gold. 1600px
