We were talking about the Daily Mail in another thread.... well their website has this story of pictures taken by a plane-spotter, with these pictures.

Probably trashed both engines! smile.gif I'm a little surprised that they still have thos plane spotter parking areas at Heathrow ( and probably many other British airports). Some are very near the aproach area ( as you can see from those images) and thus permit anyone to get closer to the aircraft than most any place on the actual airport. Thinking.gif OTOH, that might be such a good place to perform any dasterdly deeds, either. Especially at Heathrow, there is constant traffic all around there making it fairly difficult to be 'stealthy.' smile.gif
