Myrtle Avenue: Plane-spotters' paradise
Det er viktig at du sjekker videoen: http://tinyurl.com/cckc96a Det er mange plane spotter grupper i Norge, og jeg har særdeles god kontakt med guttene og jentene på Flesland. Det er nesten ubegripelig hva de får med seg av detaljer. Det er grunn til å valfarte til Myrtle Avenue etter dette!

Myrtle Avenue in west London looks like your typical suburban street of
semi-detached houses with family cars parked on the driveways.
But when you walk to the end of the road, you notice a patch of grass where dozens of middle-aged men are sitting in a row, armed with binoculars, flasks of tea, high-frequency radios and expensive cameras.
The reason? The street is an ideal vantage point to see planes flying in and out of nearby Heathrow Airport.
BBC News spent an afternoon with a plane-spotter to find out more.

Guide to London Heathrow Airport
London Heathrow is one of the worlds premier airports, handling a huge amount of airlines operating to destinations around the world. The airport is the busiest in Europe and is very popular with enthusiasts around the world. Heathrow is rather let down though by its complete lack of viewing areas. When compared to other major European airports like Amsterdam Schiphol, Frankfurt and Zurich the facilities provisded are very poor. This situation is made worse by the closure of the one official area photos were possible from, the Queens Building and there is still no word on if or when this will re-open. It should also be said that the security around Heathrow is very tight and although you shouldnt have a problem at the areas below, they are not official areas and you may be approached by police, although most are understanding towards enthusiasts.
The airport offers a fantastic selection of airlines but there are better airports in the UK for photography, namely Manchester. The spots listed below, with the descriptions are from my findings and I have never had problems at them. If anyone has different experiences at the airport then please let us know by discussing it in the forum, a link to which is the right side of the page. My "How To Get There" descriptions are meant only for people driving as my knowledge of public transport is very, very limited, again if anyone has things to add then please use the Heathrow forum.
