In response to a question from Flightglobal, the UK Air Accident Investigation Branch said only that it is investigating an incident on that date.

Well you know what the option is then don't you. T*%t
Probably best to await the AAIB, but hell, this is a chat room full of amateurs. Maybe they were just having a bit of fun flying over their Sri Lankan friends in the BP garage.
I once saw the same type and carrier depart LHR 27L and head for Laleham before reaching the M25.
Have a nice day.

Thread Creep
I don't understand, in the picture of the Lufty and the United 757, why the 757 is so nose down.
Should it not really be about 3 to 4 degs nose up at that stage of the approach? I can understand optical illusions making them look closer than they really are but not effect the look of the pitch angle of the 757.
I suspect that it might be a fake?

You should seem some of the take offs from Jo'berg in the middle of a hot day. Some of the 747s really do scrape the trees at the end of the runway!

The 747/757 photo is not a fake, it's by Ben Wang on airliners.net, but it was shot from some distance away...if you read the info the 747 had engine problems and was flying somewhat skewed
