DaveReid, the figure of 3500 you quote, is that all aircraft that landed on the departure runway on westerlies after 0700? If so, then lots, if not the majority, of them would have come under the usual TEAM criteria, so are not part of the Ops Freedoms trial.

Also, the practice you describe of landing on both runways before 0700 is not part of the trial. We've always done that, I'm sure HD can remember it!

Sorry to be a pedant, but there is a great deal of misinformation about Operational Freedoms and what is happening at LHR.
No argument there - in fact I said as much in my original post:

of which 1500 or so were during the 0600-0700 period and so fall outside the scope of the trial provisions
