it was follow my leader in the sky above the south east. thay all diverted to EGKK, the delay there went instantly from 5 to 35 minutes.
ive not been on the receiving end of so many pans due fuel shortage in a long time.
however, over the last couple of hours they all slowly got airborne from gatwick to head back to heathrow.... its a shame with all its new technology the A380 that was on a BIGGIN departure couldnt find BIG in the FMS and went steaming past it.
a very, very busy sunday afternoon down in sunny swanwick.
