I wondered if one was in this morning - heard the reverse thrust in Cowley. No doubt more can be expected this week.
Several visited at the time of Bush's farewell tour and one did a missed approach followed by such a low visual circuit that Ruislip residents rang the emergency services convinced they were witnessing a plane about to crash. Of course, the size of the plane against the usual biz-jets seen in the circuit would have played a part.

As is all well-known by now ... the two USAF C-17s on Saturday morning delivered two VH-60 Blackhawks in preparation for the visit of President Obama later this week for the G20 conference in London. They were on the ground for about 2-3 hours only, and both had gone by 1pm.
Prior to this, three US Army CH-47s arrived from Germany on Thursday afternoon.
Saturday lunchtime, the VH-60s were assembled for flight, and on Saturday evening they went flying with a pair of CH-47s. They went to Stansted and then to the Excel Centre in Docklands (where the G20 conf will be).

Nah! You all missed the point. This was a practice to make sure 'heavies' can use Northolt when it becomes Heathrows third runway. 
The refueling station is already installed as is the signage pointing the way to the airfield
