Ha! Used to do that when the kids were small!Going under the Heathrow flight-path on the M25 is the ONLY good thing about visiting my outlaws.I've just bought a new car with a panoramic roof and it's great for a bit of final-approachery.
Yes ... @Fab Foodie was spot on with the time! Looks like 2 flights had to "go around". First was an Oman Air Airbus 330 from Muscat, then the BA 747 which FF saw, which was a flight from Moscow. Both landed again about 15 minutes later.Any luck with the replay, anyone?

The software compnay I work for has an add-on product for our main system called PEAS (post event analysis system). We've used a photo of this graffiti in mailout. It just works!
The ONLY thing? ....
Left T5 Business parking tonight to join the traffic queue for the M25, spotted a large plane big and low, wound down the windows (I like the sound) and suddenly thought ... 'you don't see them approach from that angle very often' ... I then realised he wasn't going to make the runway and if lucky would have been lucky to land inside the perimeter fence. Maybe 100 ft above the ground, the pilot realised too and got on the gas! BA 747 (I think).
Scary stuff.
I forgot to mention that the views from M3 J7 over Basingstoke are also a highlight.
The plane's telling us we're all going to die but we'll give it a go anyway and see what happens...I was on a shuttle from Glasgow to London which came into land at Heathrow, but pulled up at the last second.
All the passengers looked at each other, and one or two were getting distressed.
Captain tells us over the PA: "Sorry about that, ladies and gentlemen.
"There is what we think is an instrument malfunction, in that the instruments are telling us the landing gear is not down, but we think it is.
"We will fly past the control tower so they can have a look and tell us."
Which is what he did, straight and level, before presumably getting the thumbs up and coming in to land again.
