Here’s a few trying to re-enact the A380 flight from above Filton to Heathrow
Descending on the ILS, 8 miles to run
200ft, go around, TOGA power, gear up
270 degree left turn to fly to the overhead (this is what really happened)
After 3 more fly pasts including another approach, en-route to Heathrow via WOTAN & L9 at FL80
On descent to BIG for left base 27L, speedbrakes the only way to prevent speed build-up
4 miles to run, at Vref, a few Cbs to deal with
1 & half miles to run
Fraction high over the threshold, UA 744 waiting to line up
Full reverse & spoilers, I WILL make that intersection 😀
Parked at T3 next to the Virgin 340s, don’t they look small

Tartan you’re all heart, what would we do without you
Here are the 1st batch from Filton, apologies for the quality of some, it come over REAL dark during the last approach then after it had departed for Heathrow the heavens opened for a good half hr, good timing me thinks
And the 2nd approach to runway 27
