Hi,

well, since you're living on the flight path you should be able to get
it again next time.

A couple of years ago I was working close to Heathrow. From my railway
platform in the evenings as I waited to go home I often used to watch a
very similar scene play itself out once every minute as the planes
landed. Kept telling myself to bring a tripod and a long lens one day,
but haven't done so far. Still, Heathrow's not going anywhere fast,
nor is the moon (well, it is, but you know what I mean), so some day
I'll go back and do it.
