To put your mind at rest, the '96 Pooleys is here by the computer for use with Flight Sim only! The 2003 guide is in my flight bag at work.
I had thought that 09 and 27 were the only runways in use these day at LHR, but late last year I was there (as pax) and several aircraft were lined up to land on 23. Two aircraft, the first a Korean 747, did a go-around and the 'queue' switched back to 27. It was a very stormy evening, but I could not see from the lounge if there had been an incident on any other runway.
