- London City Airport - EGLC, United Kingdom
Notes:
The airport is just about to get busy as is our day! This was just the beginning of our 14+ hour long spotting session which included 4 airports and about 300 miles on the road. Thanks to Aziz for that! About 10 aircraft are seen on the ramp, just about to depart after one another. In the background, is Canary Wharf which is a large office and shopping development in East London, located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Canary Wharf tenants include major banks, such as Barclays, Credit Suisse, HSBC and Citigroup, law firms such as Clifford Chance, as well as news media and service firms, including Thomson Reuters, and Trinity Mirror. You can also see the Millennium Dome. The dome is the largest of its type in the world. Externally, it appears as a large white marquee with twelve 100 m-high yellow support towers, one for each month of the year, or each hour of the clock face, representing the role played by Greenwich Mean Time. In plan view it is circular, 365 m in diameter — one metre for each day of the year — with scalloped edges. It has become one of the United Kingdom's most recognisable landmarks.

Great shot Aalok, well done. Thanks for the mention and it was a great pleasure for me too. As I told you I had never done all the London airports in one day before this day. You were crazy enough to go along with this crazy idea
