Props at Heathrow!
I see that in February Air France has scheduled ATR 42s on two of its LHR-CDG services. The flights concerned are the 1505 and 2115 arrivals at T4, and departures at 0820 and 1710. I understand these have previously been operated by an ATR 72. KLM also has an F50 for the tea-time AMS flight. Nice to see some more prop aircraft on regular schedules there. Any other props regularly seen now at LHR? I think my last prop flight out of LHR was on a Manx ATP!

Yes I thoroughly enjoyed a trip in the F50 on LHR-AMS last year. Flying on a prop from LHR was something I thought I'd never do, though the last F50s are to be retired at the end of March alas.
Me too.
Then I thought about it a bit more and realised that it was also my FIRST prop flight through Heathrow. And yet my first trip through there ever was on a British Eagle One-Eleven, in 1968. It's been pretty much all jet for a long, long time.

Enclosed gate areas at T1
Photos: - Aircraft Pictures | Airliners.net
The last time I was down the (soon to be demolished) Europier it was a pleasantly open plan area like T4 and T5. Has it now been divided up into segregated gates like T3? Anyone know why this is and if the whole new T2B will be a similar layout?
Thanks
