Since the Queen's Building at Heathrow with its viewing platform was closed, there is no really good place within the boundary of the airport to see planes land and take off. This small patch of grass near Hatton Cross, next to the Great South-West Road (A30) and at the end of Myrtle Avenue, is about the best place as can be seen here. It is certainly popular with plane spotters. This is especially so when a steady stream of planes come in to land on the southern runway from the east. In this photograph a British Airways flight is about to land.
