Thanks everyone for the massive o/d on nostalgia! I was LHR MASU '82 to '90 so enjoyed some evenings watching the fun on 23 from a 'ring-side' seat after opening up the VASI covers. Don't remember a Concorde 23 departure but a number of landings. Only landing on 23 was as a pax in a 1-11 autoland so hard I thought my fillings had come loose. Rollout so short we were able to turn right straight to our stand on the Deltas (when they were remote!)
Also remember the Pan-Am 74 that lost an engine landing on 23 - actually off the pylon on the ground?
Cheers,
