Well folks,

Got my night in the Renaissance (22nd May).

With the published arrivals showing 27L, I wasn't expecting to see much the following morning, but I woke just after 5am (not intentionally!) to see a BA 744 touching down outside my window. Until 6am, quite a few other long haul landings came in on 27R, including SQs A380...it finally dawned on me that 6am is the changeover time, so anything before that would land on 'yesterday evenings' runway. And from 6am, I got another half hour or so of arrivals on both 27L and 27R...

The SQ A380 rolled back down 27R about 10.30am, but never got beyond taxi speed! Last seen returning to the stand!

Also caught EK and QF 380s and lots of T7s and 744s...surprised in particular at the number of Air Canada flights.

So, spotting complete for another while!

Another question though...on arrival back at LHR on Monday, all arrivals / departures were on 9L / 9R...weather was calm. But all published arrivals are 27L or 27R...so when do the 9s come in?
