Heathrow, the 80 miles is most certainly possible, but remember I am talking track miles from the hold. Take me 15 miles west off TIMBA, then back 15 past TIMBA again, and out for a 15 mile final, plus base leg and turns and .........80........easy!
Just to clear any doubts-there is NO criticism of the excellent LONDON ATC implied here, just a go at getting things better for us drivers from a position of ignorance of your problems.
