I remember landing on Rwy 23 at LHR. Probably one of only two instances of severe turbulence I've experienced in 25 years. The aircraft was shaking so violently I couldn't read the instruments!

But it was a pain as there was no ILS on to 23 and you had to do an SRA approach which isn't something we did very often and the only time you did one was in the middle of a storm.

Plus when using 23 LHR had to clear a load of aircraft from T4 stands so it wasn't a 2 second job to get it up and running either.. They had handily painted "LHR" onto the back of the gas tank on long finals though so you knew you were in the right place
