[@vc10aviation]

Great Catch

[@HeathrowAircraft]

@vc10aviation ah thanks very much - that’s very kind. It was a long wait - but finally came good! 👍

[@aviationin4k258]

Thought that was you I saw. Great catch as usual!

[@HeathrowAircraft]

@aviation4k258 ahh I’m sorry we didn’t get a chance to speak. (Sorry if I looked grumpy too - it was very delayed wasn’t it!!!’) 🫣

[@aviationin4k258]

@@HeathrowAircraft no it’s all good! It was very late sadly.

[@HeathrowAircraft]

@aviationin4k258 it certainly was wasn’t it!! Glad I didn’t “scowl you out” 🤣😨

[@bmused55]

Excellent capture. A sight not likely to be repeated at Heathrow any time soon.

[@HeathrowAircraft]

@bmused55 thanks very much -yes it was a one off wasn’t it - but worth waiting all this time for! All the best. Steve

[@piperhound]

Another 1 here that gets to enjoy seing these on the Broughton flightpath. Im also old enough to remember the old Super Guppy's overhead. They were noisy 🤣.

[@HeathrowAircraft]

@piperhound Gosh that’s a great reminder- the Super Guppy’s. I had forgotten those! Thanks for watching and bringing back good memories! All the best Steve

[@spiffingrich]

Well done for catching that, great video. Seems to have lots of performance too on that takeoff.

@spiffingrich - thanks a lot. Yes it was a punchy takeoff wasn’t it! 💪👏👏

[@jameshardie9914]

Great catch, definitely not an everyday sighting at heathrow

[@HeathrowAircraft]

@jameshardie9914 thanks a lot. It’s such a weird looking aircraft isn’t it!! 😱

[@jameshardie9914]

@@HeathrowAircraft it really is!!

[@dryflyman7121]

Can’t believe a thing that size only has two engines 😳

[@HeathrowAircraft]

@dryflyman7121 absolutely- seems really ungainly doesn’t it! 😱

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Very cool we see them a lot up here on approach to the Airbus factory 😍🧱👍🏽

[@HeathrowAircraft]

@SteveAndAlexBuild - ah of course yet - we’re newcomers to it here at LHR 🤣🤣

[@Quiwi707]

Superbe vidéo 👍 This plane is soooo spécial 😅

[@HeathrowAircraft]

@Quiwi707 Merci Beaucoup! 👏👏✈️

[@missfittrr]

Surprised it’s only got two engines

[@HeathrowAircraft]

@missfittrr yes good point - I was too when I saw it!

[@kongvolmerii2683]

Looks like a dolphin

[@HeathrowAircraft]

@kongvolmerii2683 Yes it really does!

[@luckyme4136]

2 hour delay. You can't buy memories like that!

[@HeathrowAircraft]

@luckyme4136 I know you’re right - it felt frustrating keep seeing the ETD slipping though!! 🫣
