Question.....I was down at LHR yesterday working and whilst walking down the Bath Rd noticed a 747 take off very close by on the northern runway westbound.

T’was a windy day like today and from my position on pretty much directly behind, could see the nose cranked into wind (to the left) on the initial climb out to maintain track.

The aircraft commenced a turn to right and I noticed the nose “appeared” to lag in the turn. Wondered whether the rudder would had been applied in the same aileron sense to kick the nose into the turn?
