Скачать или смотреть British Airways 777 Gatwick takeoff and Barbados landing

My apologies to previous viewers. I've decided to delete and remaster my original video due to distortion issues with the codec used.

This is a video of my latest trip to Barbados on the BA2155 service. This was flown by aircraft G-VIIA, the same aircraft that did the return leg of my last trip. Coincidentally this was the aircraft on which I did the return leg of this trip :)

This particular flight was unique in that it took almost 9 hours due to heavy headwinds. Also the approach into Barbados was markedly different and shorter than the norm in that the aircraft came in along the east coast and made a sharp turn to line up with the runway. The net effect was that the view of the island on the left hand side of the aircraft was much shorter than normal - in effect none! - while the lucky folk on the rirght hand side had a grandstand view - You win some you lose some :)

The Aircraft was heavy - I heard the gate agent mention that every seat was occupied. Despite this the take-off roll seemed identical to partially loaded flights - those GE90 engines are really awesome.

The Aircraft is a Boeing 777-236B with General Electric GE90-85B turbofan engines.

The video was taken by a Panasonic HDC-HS300 semi-pro camcorder. It was recorded in full HD with a Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack. In my opinion the camcorder does a great job of capturing the nuances of the engine sounds during the climb out. The GE90 engines sound really cool.
