The one pictured should be G-BOAB. It's the one which will eventually go on top of T5 when it's built. Just stored there out the way. :sad:

Can I see Porky Bannister there in the left hand seat?

do they ever use RWY23 at heathrow?

Heathrow's Rwy 23 is currently NOTAMed as closed, though not permanently. Having said that, it seems unlikely that it will be used again.
