411A, we're talking about a VIR A340 that had smoking undercarriage due to, I think, brakes seizing on. The crew did well to get off the runway. I'm not too sure of what the exact cause of it was, because I was busy trying to control my own airshow of multiple go-arounds and persuading the Iberia on short final that 'Go around' really did mean 'go around', and not 'cleared to land'
And I really doubt that any of us would describe LHR as anything other than a mess. Though we'd probably use stronger language.
Fadec, you should have seen the inside of the tower at the time!!!!!! You weren't on one of the ones turned round in the holding area, were you?
