Runway Redesignation Dates

Hey guys, does anyone have the full and official dates when :

Edinburgh Runway 07 / 25 became 06 / 24

Glasgow Runway 10 / 28 became Runway 09 / 27
Glasgow Runway 06 / 24 became Runway 05 / 23

Heathrow Runways 10 / 28 became Runways 09 / 27

Manchester Runway 06 / 24 became Runway 23 / 05

The second Glasgow and Heathrow are way before my time but I was curious....Anyone comment?

Thanks

Is this is dupe posting because I've read it and answered part of it before..

Heathrow change was during the night of 2nd July, 1987.

If you are interested, long before that, in 1952, 16/34 L & R became 15/33 L&R.

EGNX also changed during the late 80s/early 90s.
EGNR also changed fairly recently.
Also I read somewhere that the rate of change of magnetic variation has increased dramatically in recent years
70 years from now EGCC could well be using 01/19 Left and Right.
Oh by the way, if it helps, the next geo-magnetic reversal is, (like Yellowstone), running a bit late.

I am! Thanks! That must have been fairly soon after construction?
The remains of the original 16/34 became known as 'Waites Alley' after a certain Captain Waites mistook it in fog for 15R and tried to depart on it...

Chief pilot sacked him perhaps? "That's a Waites off my mind!"

EDI changed sometime between Feb 1997 and May 2002.

Between those dates I was flying longhaul and when I returned it had changed to 06/24.
