R/W 05 arrivals at EGLL

With the recentish demise of the r/w 23 approach option at LHR (I think that's a true statement) - Am keen to understand if anyone recalls the even rarer use of r/w 05? and it's last use?

I can recall a very blustery night in late Autumn circa 1985/6 it being used for landings - visual only of course. I can still remember a hoary old BA Tristar captain commenting to the tower that "he hadn't done that for blo*dy years"

cheers
