I actually watched it on approach as I was walking along Kew Road in Richmond at around 8pm - I knew it was in descent mode when I left our house and basically walked with head up looking at each and every plane that came over head.. 2 aircraft after the Emirates vessel but G-XLEE shone brightly, so majestic she was. My holiday plans revolve actually going on one of these beauties this year.

What could be the point to fly to CHR for flight tests, couldn't have this been done directly at TLS before delivery, or around LHR?... Fabien  |

Fabien I don't think these were flight tests, they were crew familiarisation/training flights. TLS is a busy airport, unlike CHR, which offers long hardly used runways. |
