Jetty has prompted to sort out some of my old photos - not my dad's or my grandad's - MINE
27R maybe still 28R approach at EGLL
seems to work ok - photos need a bit of restoration with Photoshop

That was still in the black and white era before I could afford colour - around 1972.
Taken with a Zenith B camera (cheap but effective) and 450mm telephoto from my mum's back garden (just about at the outer marker).
Still sorting out the rest of the photos.

Eeek.. a Zenith B!! My dad still has his but it's not had a film through it in years. He never had anything as glamourous as a 450mm lens though.. more your 2xConverter on the standard 50mm!!
