Your favourite photos taken of/from a plane?

Digging through my photo collection over the weekend, and found these golden oldies - and I do mean old, mid 70's
A collection of photos taken at the Gliding Club of Victoria, at Benalla Victoria at the start of and mid 1975

I tend not to take photos from the plane however when I saw the thread I was determined to add a 2020 photo. This is MEL taken on 4 Dec travelling to the 2020 AFF #14 Gathering in CBR and then forgot to post it. Happy new year and hopefully 2021 will be a better year for travel.

Old runway?

Actually it was my second ever arrival onto the new runway, which was surprising because my first time went over the top of the CBD (which was a bit of a shock at the time, I thought the pilot got lost).
 
Came across this photo taken by my later Father-in-Law around 1976 on his one and only return to his homeland after emigrating here in 1946. His was one of those war love stories, met his wife on shore ;leave in Sydney, had to return with his ship to UK to be demobbed, and then by ship back to Australia.

Heathrow, while waiting for his flight "home" to Australia.

Inspired by the Top Three Holiday Photos and Best Photographs of Aircraft threads, I thought it would be nice to have a place for AFF members to share their favourite photos they've taken either of a plane, or from an aircraft window.

I'll post a few of my favourite snaps below, but I'm sure other AFFers have much better photos! Please feel free to share yours in this thread.

Don't think its Heathrow, as BCAL flew from Gatwick.

Think this likely to be London Gatwick as BCAL did not operate from London Heathrow.
