Post any photos that you have that sum up how weird the impact of the pandemic and lockdown have shown.


Here’s a couple of examples. ....

Heathrow. Only a couple of aircraft (even one caught on the runway about to take off). Car parks, almost completely empty. (Taken off google earth, go take a look.



Gatwick. The same. Weird seeing the vast car parks empty.

Wow, you’ve clearly dedicated your spare lockdown time to time travel. smile
Does look spooky though, it’s never looked like that when I’ve been there.

John Lewis car park in Leicester 24th March 2020, around 6:30pm I was the only one in there, that’s level 0, the first floor as you drive in.

Only reason I was there was to go to my appointment to give blood, very strange feeling like I was in ‘28 days later’.

No pictures sadly, but in mid-April last year I had to travel from the Midlands to Scotland and then a couple of days later from the Midlands to South Wales. I couldn’t have seen any more than 100 other vehicles on both journeys.

It's on a railway station - it could have come from anywhere.

Wouldn’t there be aircraft parked everywhere during the pandemic? Recent algorithms in GE seem to delete them, Gatwick and Heathrow were rammed with aircraft that weren’t on the GE images.
