Recall my first arrival to LHR viewed from up front. We were on the heels of a 74' teetering 2-3 knots above minimum speed with ATC gently reminding us to slow down twice during final. The a/c ahead was close enough to see the puffs of smoke from the wheels at touch-down, rapidly followed by two fire trucks crossing the runway right ahead as the piano keys filled the view with still no landing clearance. We must have been around 50' when the 74' ahead finally turned off and were cleared to land.
