G-BYGB approaching Heathrow - 3 August 2014

To contrast with the preceding photograph, this is a better picture and an equally important record shot for different reasons. The British Airways B747-400 is in its final years in service. In my opinion, the type looks beautiful in flight whether on departure or, as here, on approach and I will miss it. G-BYGB was seen from Kensington heading towards Heathrow at around 8am on a Sunday morning.
