It was a water cannon greeting from the fire crews, hope they didn't induce a flameout ! Good water ingestion test tho!
Last seen at LHR when Concorde was retired. Great day for Heathrow which has had its share of knocks recently , including the 777 accident, which as I said in that post, STILL no-one knows the cause, it seems, although speculation continues on some form of fuel icing.

Billion dollars, NEVER heard that amount, just for A380 upgrade mods. but over 800 m for badly needed upgrades to accomodate more large aiircraft inc the 380 and that includes pax and baggage handling. If you've used LHR recently you will know the upgrades are urgently needed and everyone will benefit from the work. New T5 opening very shortly.
