LHR deps yesterday?
Just a quick question for any LHR tower controllers,
I admit, not THAT unusual, but departing yesterday on 27L for a quick EDI and back, we came round the corner heading towards N1 and were confronted by around 22 aircraft holding. (around 1800hr)
It took us 45 mins of taxiing to get airbourne, was purely wondering was there any problems? in the past any sort of holding point congestion of this level results in a start up delay, was beginning to leave us a touch short on fuel.
Not in ANYWAY a critisism, you all do a great job am asking purely to satisfy my curiosity.
Thanks.
