BIA One Eleven at LGW was just after 08R closed at 2330 for re-surfacing work. Masses of vehicles with an impressive display of orange flashing lights not yet arrived on 08R so it was in complete darkness. Visual approach to 08L, and all ok until the f/o asks "Are we on the right one?". Seed of doubt now firmly planted, and went one to the left from 08L to taxyway 2 instead of 08R to 08L. Caused distinct colour change in the lower half of the uniforms of a BA 737 crew taxying for departure and they made a rapid exit onto the grass.

Is that the same markdobson that drove a 1-11 outta LTN in '87?
