puff m'call probably provided the most correct but politially uncorrect answer.

2 a/c - one turboprop and one 777 on finals. Both do 160kts to 4DME but the prop slows immediately to 110kts, and when the 777 passes 4DME eventually slows to 145kts. 2 a/c get close, and a fairly early g/a was called. Nice view of the belly of the 777!

The french turboprop obviously didn't read the plates on his way in as he then proceeded to cut me up on the taxiway. Little

BTW its always good ATC going into LHR, thanks guys.
