BA shuttle stands

Hello!
As an avid vatsim flightsim pilot, I'm currently flying BA shuttle routes on the 757 and the 1-11.....being a bit nostalgic etc
Can anyone tell me what gates or stands the shuttle used at Heathrow, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester and Belfast?
Of course it really doesn't matter where I park... but a nerdy attention to detail makes me want authenticity.
Thanks in anticipation!
CJ

Glasgow was 19, 20, 21 in that order of priority.

At EDI stand 10 used to be the primary stand.

In the late 80s and early 90s, the BA Shuttle was on gate 2 at EDI, 3 was usually a regional One Eleven and 1 was Midland.
At GLA, we had 757s on 19 and 20 until the mid 90s wnen 20 lost the airbridge to 21.

Heathrow for me always A1, A3 and A5 direct to the Shuttle lounge or a bit of a walk to N174, N176 etc

IIRC, Shuttles at LHR were usually A1, A3, A5 with Belfast from A9.

IIRC, British Midland's DC9 'shuttle equivalent' between Glasgow and London used B4 at LHR.
