Are you the controller at LGW?
I was listening in on my airband scanner which I do every Sunday afternoon and heard no emergency traffic.
I live within walking distance of the airport and would see any visual aircraft unusual.

Silent Handover, are you sure you've got your days right ? Monarch 757 with lightning strike/engine failure was yesterday's emergency.
On Sunday the engine was 'overheating' and throttled back but don't think it was shut down. Can't remember the airline or type, but it was one of the charter operators.
08R ILS has done the mandatory 300 hours and is now cat III, by the way.

Ah that'll be the TCX 757 then! Same result though. Did a couple of engine runs then positioned up to Manch last night.
As for the Spotty M being an A321 I hold my hands up and say I may be wrong as I had just returned to the tower in time to take the call to say the emergency was over from the AFS's point of view.
That's one of the joys of shift work you never really know what day it is.

Just curious .but is the r/w work which is happening anything to do with the high amount of go-arounds at egkk recently.epsecially in the day time too.i know a go-around is a normal procedure but they are definitely occuring more frequently at this airport.
