@GatwickDirector @airindia Very sorry to hear about the loss of one of your inbounds. Our thoughts are with family and friends of loved ones lost in the air and on the ground. Call us on the landline if you want to chat. #AI171 #Dreamliner #LHR #RIP

Who else has that Monday morning feeling? Come back Friday, all is forgiven 👏 #lhrpower #lhr

[Heathrow Director @LHRDirector]

Nothing wrong with radar controllers 👌 Enjoy your time in the sun!

[Amanda @AmandaR4444]

I'm up at Luton today
visiting the tower.

So if anyone sees a heavily tattooed woman waving at aircraft, it's me 🥰🚁✈️😆

Please wave back! I'm a radar controller. Humour me. I don’t get out much!

Smile and wave. That's all I ask. oh and snacks, just saying 🍰

[Heathrow Director @LHRDirector]

@lhrtower wakey wakey..turn the lights on! Here they come! Speedbird 3577, better late than never and beat the #BUB from Gatwick 👌 Speedbird 715 kilo unlucky the 350 just pipped you! ILS 09 left. #lhr #lhrpower

[Heathrow Director @LHRDirector]

Wake turbulence category UGLY! Not content with the #BUB.. Now this... https://t.co/OKL4OqiW7P

[Heathrow Director @LHRDirector]

Don't block @LHRTower or it may get, well, a bit awkward 😂

[Captain Dave @DaveWallsworth]

So let’s give Twitter one last go shall we! First thing I’ve done is block Elon and Donald! Now that’s done hopefully I won’t have to see any more of their rubbish! Shame, because I enjoyed Elon’s @SpaceX stuff but he’s become a Donald cheerleader 🙈 Now, back to some flying stuff! These were taken on a recent flight to Cape Town. Probably my last one for a while as the A350 is coming off the route for the winter schedule 😢

[Heathrow Director @LHRDirector]

@FlightEmergency Early reports saying 399 on board, all safe. Report of a ground collision with a Coast Guard aircraft.

[Heathrow Director @LHRDirector]

All arrived safely! Happy Christmas to you all. #lhr

[Heathrow Director @LHRDirector]

20 years ago today, we said out final goodbyes to The Rocket.. We miss you every day beautiful lady. 💔💔

Use Smarty. They piggyback off Three but that's where the commonality ends... @SMARTYMobileUK

[Rhys Parker @rhys_parker]

Is there a worse company than @ThreeUK in terms of customer support?

[Heathrow Director @LHRDirector]

This is how we welcomed them home from the very last commercial flights 20 years ago today. Tears all round.. 😪😪😪 #concorde #lhr #jfk @LHRTower https://t.co/JjIlJaLvXX

[Heathrow Director @LHRDirector]

20 years ago today, she left JFK for her last commercial flight to Heathrow... Here's how it happened on the cold October morning... #concorde #jfk #lhr https://t.co/gVMi1d7zFa

[Heathrow Director @LHRDirector]

20 years ago today , Speedbird 1 left Heathrow for the very last time. @LHRDelivery @LHRGround and @LHRTower doing their bit to send the beautiful rocket on her way to JFK... @London_Control keeping an eye too 'We know where you live!!' 🤣🤣🤣 #concorde https://t.co/1nbNfs3FR1

[Heathrow Director @LHRDirector]

@aviationbrk Uncontrolled engine fire on an EC135? I think the checklist says land Immediately... RIP.

[Heathrow Director @LHRDirector]

This may come in handy....

[Heathrow Director @LHRDirector]

@StansteDirector have you noticed yet?

[Heathrow Director @LHRDirector]

Now where did we put those flight progress strips? #lhr

[Heathrow Director @LHRDirector]

@saru_pruthi @Aishwar84724068 @lufthansa @HeathrowAirport @HeathrowNews @lufthansaNews @DelhiAirport @aviationdelhi We can track flights via a transponder, so we always know where they are. Quite important if we want to keep them separated! U can do the same for 20 quid a case. Millions of cases a day being carried, some will get lost. Fortunately that's not true 4 aircraft. Airtag or similar.

[Heathrow Director @LHRDirector]

@Schafernaker It's a lost cause @Schafernaker I checked the METAR for 2 airports in Sardinia and sure enough..47 Degrees on 24/7. They wouldn't know a Stevenson Screen if it hit them on the head. OK maybe they would as I expect they are quite heavy 🤣🤣. #LHR

[Heathrow Director @LHRDirector]

Seemed appropriate Thomas...

[Tomasz Schafernaker @Schafernaker]

This absolutely not true. The temperature being reported is AIR temperature above ground (over 1 metre+), not the GROUND temperature. Ground temperature will have been even higher in many of those locations, well in excess of 50°.
