grth_bbtt 0 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 well then. gatwick last night had a lot of diversions from heathrow due to a fire alarm going off inside the tower. Boy we got some good diversions! heres some of the many planes that came to gatwick due to the diversions. (never got pictures or went down to the 'wick as i only found out about 9pm last night) -singapore A380 - heathrow spent years and lots of money widening there taxiways to accomadate the aircraft but gatwick has done nothing with the taxiways and yet the aircraft still managed to be at the airfield. -virgin A340's -BMI A319's -jet airways A330 Well done to the controllers for managing 126.825 with all the extra aircraft and thoose that were low on fuel.
