Hearty apologies, P7. I must have been under the mistaken impression that those people not lucky enough to see the output from Heathrow ATC's glorious Operations Department, might have inferred from point5's post that Pier 6 now extended all the way across, and thus that the R cul-de-sac was now closed. In retrospect I now see that I was completely and utterly out of order, and unreservedly apologise for any heartache my comments caused to point5, and hope I can be forgiven.
In the future if I see a post I believe I can clarify for the benefit of readers' understanding, I will wait patiently for you to ask me......
