Im not a proffessional Pilot, but Im a spotter/photographer based at Glasgow ,( those were my pictures linked in the thread) in all my years there I have never seen any thing bigger than a 757 coming off at link Bravo when landing 05 and I have never in my time at Glasgow seen anything bigger than a B757 being asked to when linned up on 23 to vacate at Bravo to re-enter at ALPHA

I stand to be corrected by the Pros , but I would take a guess that the earliest exit that a B777 could take to vacate 23 safely and reline up at 23 would be link Delta , I have seen B767 using Delta in the past though not quite sure if the B777 could make the turn there

I dont know if there were two landers in the seqeunce ,but it looks like the ATC were in a bit of a hurry to get B777 off and selcted Bravo to take him off , the Pilot tried but did'nt make it

Lesson learned by all

Have read in another forum that no aircraft bigger than a B757 will be allowed to turn at Bravo in the future
