An email to Heathrow's press office elicited no response, but their website confirms that if the launch actually took place in Birmingham this week it wasn't deemed worthy of a press release.
Interestingly, it appears that there were two different version of last week's advance announcement by Heathrow summarising the "Brexit Boost" measures:
The version circulated to local media did include a reference, discussed on here earlier, to a ban on scheduled arrivals before 5:30 am, subject to getting the go-ahead for R3. Some of the local papers, the Maidenhead Advertiser for example, ran with that story.
But the national press were sent a different version of the release which omitted any mention of the proposed night flight changes.
Doubtless once all the ducks have been got in a row we'll find out which carrots have made the final cut.
