Heathrow Director - I remember the previous version you were talking about which I think was filmed in late '86. It included a reporter taking a jump seat ride on a British Midland DC9 and butting in every few seconds asking the crew what was going on, whilst they were trying to land manually in conditions of low viz. I can imagine the sorts of conversations that must have gone on once this idiot left the flight deck!

Here's what I hope is an intelligent question having seen tonights show.....
One average how many days per year do they have to swap runway ends from the 27s to the 09s or vice versa during the day? Do they ever have to swap twice? What is the record for swap arounds in one day?
