JAL 43 10th SEPT
I watched this aircraft go by a few moments ago and on a hunch looked at it's flight path, which showed that it came over the Pole and down through Greenland/Iceland/Scotland to Heathrow. Some where over the generalised area of Fort William in the Highlands it made 2 racetrack circuits at cruising altitude before continuing it's route. Surely that wouldn't have been a time-wasting manoeuvre due to slot limitations at LHR ?? The 2 circuits seem pretty narrow in the curve to be easily achieved at cruising speed in a passenger aircraft. Any of the flight-tracking pros care to shed some light ? JAL43 HND-LHR JA738J
