Having only ever seen it once before, I saw it twice this summer. Once we were just getting off a Thames boat trip at Westminster pier when I saw it banking in the distance "over" the Palace of Westminster. I would have made a fantastic photograph, so of course I didn't have my camera with me.
Then a week or two later I was collecting Daniel from a playscheme at a local school when I saw it off in the hazy distance towards the north wast. Come to think of it, it was probably around the same time and in the same direction as the Houses of Parliament time, so it was probably a regular Heathrow takeoff. Perhaps I could have seen it any day of any week. It's just strange to have seen it twice when it was on the way out.

And it's certainly beautiful.
