I think that you will find that the Gatwick SIDs are SIDs. They all do, however, incorporate the NPRs.

Did you happen to operate into LHR/EGLL with your previous employer and if so, would you have briefed for a climb straight ahead in the event of an engine failure?

My employer specifies that we follow the SID out of Heathrow following an engine failure. I did meet a E145 skipper from a Middle sized UK airline who I think said something about climbing to 1500'aal then returning to the overhead. My memory on this is very fuzzy, but I think it would be instructive if people could post rough ground tracks they would follow from UK airports following an engine failure. I am sure there are some ATCOs out there who would be interested to know.
