You'll have some 3-legged folk along shortly incandescent at being referred to as from the UK ;-)
A BA 777 came into LHR this morning on delivery from Seattle. I'd thought that all 777's had been supplanted with 787's and A350's by now, but obviously not the case!

The last of the non-ER 777-200s left the fleet earlier this year, but just over half of the 40-odd 777-200ERs are still active, with the remainder grounded at Heathrow/Gatwick/Cardiff.

Don't forget G-OSRA and G-OSRB. Both regular visitors to Lasham. I couldn't help noticing easyJet had a flight out of Lasham yesterday to EMA and another the previous day.

Plan is to remain on single runway ops during present lockdown as movements have reduced significantly. Runway in use will alternate each week in accordance with landing alternation pattern so 09L/27R will be used next week. Situation will be reviewed towards end of lockdown when movements likely to increase afterwards so possibly reverting to dual runway ops.again.

BA A380 G-XLEL out of Chateroux inbound LHR via Biggin? Currently abeam Dieppe...
Apologies for my usual "me too!', but...me too! I saw it float gracefully by on long finals and did wonder if my eyesight was correct, thinking I'd seen a 777 of 350 until it's chubbiness was fully visible. I'm guessing that it's off to Manila rather than revenue service.

It turned off its westerly leg from Biggin over the top of me but I was busy doing something!

It's unlikely to be going to LHT in Manila as it spent a month there at the beginning of the year.
