Emirates A380 Heathrow - odd angle
All
I live in Ealing and am well used to the sight of planes every 90 secs following the usual flight path into LHR from the east, over central London then Richmond followed by Hounslow, passing well to the south of Ealing.
This AM, at about 11.40 I saw an Emirates A380 right over West Ealing itself, headed obviously towards LHR but from the north-east rather than the east.
Not only do planes not usually pass over West Ealing when landing, but this one was a lot lower than planes usually are at that distance from LHR and it had its landing gear down which again is unusual that far out.
Was anything the matter?
