It won’t be backlit as it went up too quick but it looks fine in the daylight. On the last set of artists impressions there were departures and arrivals signs over each set of doors. The logo was meant to go to the far right of the terminal but this is a much better location.
Still no sign of the ceiling by the landslide retail units being part covered in strips of wood. The exposed services still look awful in stand out silver and make the terminal look half finished not that the strips of wood hid much as the gaps are too large.

The vaulted ceiling in departures/security queue now has the rails for a suspended ceiling, a little higher than the new arrivals ceiling but it does cover up the large advertising screens that are still hung.
Notice that it looks like the planning for wavy bus shelter only extends to the current covered walkway from the pedestrian bridge, would have looked better if the same wavy design continued all the way, even if it offers little rain protection.

I have always associated a photo like this with an airport like Heathrow or Gatwick and not little old Luton. Even the easyjet in the run up bay was in the queue. Photo taken today.

I was pushing out easy on 21L when I noticed it. Now we back on rw 26 and you can clearly see the queues. You can expect similar around 6-7 pm when the late wave of easyjet goes out .

Diversions outside overnight times are no issue, they stay a couple of hours then drift back to LHR.
I thought that as well. I remember it was part of the restrictions announced to keep LTN within its overall noise limits that no daytime diversions other than emergencies would be accepted between June and September 2018. Maybe those restrictions have since been amended unnoticed.

Also appears as a PDF from the airport direct.
Maybe they were four emergencies

With no ATC at LHR and alot of metal spinning around the holds filling quicking burning fuel would make such a scenario for special one off!
Of course we don't know if they actually declared an emergency fuel status over London TMA, unless anyone was up their on same frequency or monitoring.
I don't believe anything went to SEN though Expressflight which could have been an alternative if STN and LGW said no to any more?

Will this mean they will be re-instating a third aircraft to TUI's LTN base?

There is no such thing as a fuel emergency, you either PAN or MAYDAY. The problem with Heathrow is that one of the diversion airports, is the other runway at the Heathrow. If there is a total closure, NATS has a contingency plan and airports close by have to take traffic in an emergency due low fuel. After all, if they didn't, there would be no other options.
