Just a minute you guys! The 100ft is in the journo report not the official statement from the NATS publicity guy!! Don't believe the s***e or you're falling for the rubbish that puts the fear of God into a lot of the non-aviation people that read this sort of sensationalist trash! I bet if any of the Gatwick guys could actually tell you at what range the DC10 went around it was alot further out but they can't print comments!
