Pleasantly surprised today at Heathrow. For years it seemed to be the hardest airport to transit with film. I have been denied hand checks more there then everywhere else, combined! But today: Very friendly security agent took all my film, no problem! No discussion of iso! #BelieveInFilm #LHR

Side view of a white, 4 engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from behind the wings, suggesting it is about to land.
The plane has purple "Virgin Atlantic" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with black "A340-600" titles a bit further forward and lower.
The engine pods mounted under the wings are red.
The tail and part of the rear fuselage are the same red, outlined in purple, with seemingly hand-written white "Virgin" titles.
There is an image of a woman wearing a red leotard and trailing a Union Flag from her arms in a flying pose under the cockpit windows.

The registration "A6-EDL" is visible on the lower rear fuselage, on the left of the frame.
The winglet on the end of the wing ion the other side of the plane is visible under the body on the left.
