Flew on one of these from L.A back to Heathrow, very uncomfortable flight - had to share the armrest with a fellow passenger, yet loads of wasted space between the windows seats and the windows! Prefer the Boeing 747-400 any day

What runway did it take off from. Also, how long will it take to get to the pub from the terminal and also, is there a bus which goes from the terminal 3 to the aviation viewing park?
Runway 23R is usually in use between 12-3 for take offs, however during the summer it has been used between 10.00 - 16.00ish. This video was filmed at around 14:30.
I'm not aware of a bus service from Terminal 3 to the AVP - this wasn't filmed at the AVP but the Airport Hotel Pub. You would probably be able to get a taxi to the AVP or the Airport Hotel is only a short walk from Terminal 3.
5* as usual. Such a lovely viewing spot. The Airport Hotel is the only place to be when Aircraft are departing 23R and a scoop or two on a sunny summers day....perfect
They were the days :) when we got virgin a340's in manchester :( wish we had them these day :(

The clouds look exactly like they do in FSX. Amazing. I thought this was FSX at first. I have been flying in FSX too long...

What time was this filmed? Well, what time in the day do they usually use 23R for takeoff and what part of the day for landing?
