The rest of my photos taken at Heathrow today are at http://rj2.fotopic.net/c962049.html.In the afternoon, when the southern runway was being used for all landings, I went back and stood at the same spot, and used the same camera settings to take photos of other aircraft. I thought it would be interesting to compare their sizes. Here first is the A380 ...Next is a Boeing 747-400, the familiar "jumbo". Not much smaller in length and wing-span, but the A380 is a lot taller ...This is a Boeing 777, their long-haul twin-engine, using in this BA example a version of the Rolls-Royce Trent engines that powered today's A380 arrival ...And finally, one of the smaller members of the Airbus family, an A319, many of which we see over West London every day ...
