Brilliant. Followed it to land, got a nice bit of space behind it suggesting it was to rest on runway? Perhaps ill passenger rather than something more serious.
Be sure she was a heavy plane flying over you! I live, when in the UK, around Weybridge so get the OCK arrivals and SE departures when off 27, so I wouldn't have seen this but would have enjoyed some scanner ATC jabbering.
Perhaps someone will know what happened? Quite a serious decision to halt, dump and return a flight so soon after take-off for any crew, but a heavy 747 to HKG is quite a decision to be made.
Was just casually looking around for stormy areas (using Blitzortung website), saw some storms off east coast of the UK then saw this BA25 doing circles... thought I'd share for all since quite unique.
Cheers,
