When Pan Am first started the 747 between the USA and LHR I remember seeing a Very Low 747 near Reading. I think it was on 3 engines and heavy and the weather was Hot. 1969/70 time. Anyway all was sorted and I think it returned to LHR sometime later. As usual the press had a field day. They talked about the 747 following the Thames Valley to avoid crashing into hills etc.
