Sorry if i missed it but do we have now a firm confirmation that the aircraft was around 8000ft ? If so it must have a very powerful beam, something way beyond what could be laying around Legoland...
The link of Shannon ATC audio I posted on the first page of the thread seems to have gone dead.
Here's a new link to the LiveAtc.net audio, the report of the position of the laser incident is at 2:00 into this nicely edited clip:

Sounds to me like he said they were on the LON 220 (or 230?) radial at 13 miles, 8000 feet, heading 275. But, I'm not so sure now with the foreign (to a hillbilly like me
) accents.
If Captain Scroggs is unable to comment on specifics at the present time I certainly understand.
