Errrr, no I didn't YS, you presume I had any clue as to what was going on!!!I believe the BAW38 passing very close to, or taking out, some sensors on the 09R LLZ caused the ILS to trip out.

BD.....we've not had BOTH lifts working since early December... I believe I was the last one to use the outside lift on the 7th December, when I got stuck in it for nearly four hours.The 'old tower' is the contingency now.It was unfortunate that ten minutes before BAW38 went in the remaining lift had failed again...I had just phoned TC to tell them that Heathrow might be transitioning back to the old tower contingency if it wasn't fixed. After the incident, that soon reached AC as chinese whispers that the a/c had crashed very near the tower as we were going to evacuate!
