EXS5H East Midlands-Exeter
EXS5G is the daily Post Office flight from Exeter to East Midlands and EXS5H the return flight so technically it was returning to Exeter... although I know what you mean!

Heathrow Director. I have always had, and will continue to have, the highest respect for your invaluable input to this forum.
The EMA-Exeter post plane doing several circuits prior to landing was, I opine, quite unusual? I am just curious with regard to this procedure.
One, Heathrow Director, with your obvious vast experience in the industry, ought to guard against the hubris that can appear, just below the surface, when replying to posts by lesser mortals like me......

NacelleStrake... Get yourself a sense of humour and you'll be a wholly different person. Best wishes..
Could be many reasons, it's always interesting to know why these out of the ordainary events crop up, it's how we learn. My favourite back in the say was the night controllers who had to take a mandatory break and the only traffic of the early hours had to hold as the controller took a break from..... well sitting at his desk.

Steady on NacelleStrake / Skipness One Echo. No problem asking questions. Just explain to me where the question was in the OP? It read as a statement and nothing more. Before you start taking us all down a peg, just reread the OP and try and understand how it reads to us cynical old fools please.

And the actual reason for all you so called ATC and Airline ops "experts" out there, was that at four mile final the Captain report a Technical issue with the flaps and requested a go-around to the hold to re-set them.
And certainly NOT as previously mentioned that the airfield was closed!
