I bet everyone with a window seat got a good view!!
He actually didn't, more like FL90/9000 down to Gatwick. He was on a Pole Hill and asked to maintain 5000, then requested climb to 6000. Once they decided to go to LGW (without fuel dumping) they were given a radar heading back southbound and cleared up to FL90 for the trip to LGW.
Still a good view though.
