Gold Bullion at Heathrow

[truck71]

Arrived via Lufthansa cargo carrier at 607 stand an hour ago. From where though?

Where did you take the photo from ? Were you on a step ladder behind a fence ?

No, I work airside right next to stand 607. Lots of law about created some excitement and a bit of patience led to the photo.

I am surprised you are officially allowed to take and post these sort of photo's on an open forum when working airside with all the security issues surrounding places like Heathrow.

Definitely not allowed, and the OP is at risk of losing his pass and job.

No issue taking the photo at all, can snap away happily all day airside if you wish.

Calm down dears, nothing untoward with the photo or posting it.

I could've easily taken the same photo from a plane window or the terminal.

Actually, (at the risk of dissecting puppies), you couldn't have - stand 607 is in the cargo area on the south west of the airfield. The nearest terminal (4) is about 1km away as the crow flies.

Yep would struggle to see this from a terminal however there is a main taxi way adjacent to 607 that is used for access to T4 depending on the direction of operation (East/West or West East). Could easily take a photo of the same scene from the opposite direction from a plane.
