BA IRL/LHR flights
Today is the change to T5. Does anyone know if pax from IRL arriving at T5 will be permitted to walk out unmolested as it was at T1 or will they now have to join a long queue? BA info desks did not have an answer to this question when asked.

BA IRL flights
Passengers will arrive on an international gate. However they will bypass UK immigration and go straight into the international customs hall.

Plan is for ground staff to meet arriving passengers at gate 23.
They will then escort them through a new corridor which takes
The passengers to the rear of immigration allowing them to access
The customs hall.

B737-436 G-DOCN.
The above mentioned is cover aircraft at LGW for the next few days before being stood down. I remember I was on my initial B737-3/4/5 course at VHA in 1993 when the instructor took us over to the apron to peruse this particular aircraft which had arrived from Renton on it's delivery flight. 
Does anyone know where are these slots coming from?

A380 announced to operate to MIA 2x daily from Winter 15. Unsure whether this will carry on to Summer 16.
Few terminal changes from Winter 15 inc. MIA, LAS and CPT which will move across from T5 to T3. Also, some other terminal changes as expected from T1.

Just to confirm spacedog's prediction for pax arriving from DUB. Gate 23 and along a corridor (no escort, though ), down the escalator, through Blue Customs and out - a matter of minutes. Terrific stuff.
Having used A319's for a long, long time they're using an A320 on the first flight, at least, with some nice new, comfy furniture onboard.

Goodbye 'Lima Golf
Another BA 744 retires tomorrow, when 'BNLG arrives back from its last trip, to Accra. Due into LHR at around 5.15am tomorrow morning, 7 Dec, presumably will then be ferried to CWL to have interior removed, before the long trip to Victorville ...
'BNLG was delivered in February 1990 and as at 31 Dec 2013, had 97,655h, so almost certainly over the 100k mark now.
