Hello all,

Can confirm aircraft was a 737-300. Registration was G-LGTH or G-LGTI, can't remember which one.

Can also confirm RTO was performed but there was nothing wrong with the aircraft at all. No warning or caution was received in the flight deck. If that has been reported, then it was probably told to pax to keep them quiet.

I am crew at LGW, and from what I have heard, there was a mix up between crew at V1, resulting in a very high energy RTO. Not very pleasant.

Consequently, BA flew a B777 to Pisa with parts and engineers.

Definately tea no biscuits for the Captain, who is 'well known' amongst crew at LGW.
