MTOW on the "E" was 155,000lb. On that occasion, as we discovered some time after the event, we were at 176,000lb (1,000lb over 'Emergency War Loading'). Pretty exciting take off out of Richmond as we finally got airborne crossing the departure end 'piano keys' of RWY 10. We were about level with the top of St Matthews Church (Windsor) as we flew past.
