LHR 10R SID.
Help! What was the name of the special SID off 10R for Speedbird 747s going north before Westbound across the 'pond' on hot summer days?

Don't wish to be pedantic but I'm pretty sure it was Bromley-Hornchurch-BPK all at 4000ft. Also recall that it could be usd by Japanair for the Anchorage flight and possibly Pan Am to Seattle.

Wasn't there a 'Polar' departure off 28s as well? Routed via EPM and BPK dated back to the days before 747s and possibly 'binned' when the LTMA was re-configured in '76; I remember it being used in 1970 when I was a radar monitor at the old north side radar unit.
It was carrying not a lot or fuel and was about half full of so called VIP passengers.
His first words after departure were 'London I'm not gonna make 4,000 by Woodley'.
I remember the very first one out of Heathrow, a Pan Am one on a 'demo' flight which had arrived early that moring.
It was carrying not a lot or fuel and was about half full of so called VIP passengers.
His first words after departure were 'London I'm not gonna make 4,000 by Woodley'.

hairstreak - you were right. I recall passing that clearance to A PanAm flight once and got "roger" in response. When I asked him a readback the answer was amazing: "Errr roger,Brookchurh Park Hill........." Great days.

This 72yr old could remember the Alt'4000' bit ( see Aviation History etc ) but not the reporting points. Can't win em' all!
As you say, Bren, Great days!

Dunno, I ony know I was stuck in Nairobi for 36 hours back in '78 while a replacement engine for our '747 was brought in by 5th pod. This engine lasted 2 hours after departure and we returned to Nairobi again.
