Had to laugh last night when the French AF Falcon carrying Jospin into LHR last night for a chin wag with Blair reduced to 120kts at 7 miles out when it was told and read back 160kts to 4DME. Separation got down to around 1.5 miles against the 767 coming up behind, so my colleague in arrivals sent the Falcon around. I'm told that another FAF Falcon (we had three in last night) turned the wrong way while on base leg, and started heading out towards the Thames Estuary!
Gonzo.
