I was spotting at LHR today about to leave when I saw on twitter that BA295 had made a U-turn over the Atlantic and was heading back to Heathrow! We headed over to Hatton Cross to get a shot of the landing however at the last minute it appeared to be coming in on the northerly runway (27R/09L). We rushed up towards 27R but sadly didn't make it in time to get properly setup. That and the fact the lighting was poor meant I got a very poor shot of it landing. Nonetheless it was clear what the problem was, the main port and starboard wheels hadn't actually come down so the Boeing 747 Jumbo was forced to make an emergency landing on 3 sets of wheels as oppose to the normal 5. Nonetheless, the crew did a remarkable job and landed safely on runway 27R. We then drove parallel to the runway to get a better shot of BA295 on the runway (since it was unable to vacate). As you can see emergency vehicles were quick to surround the aircraft. Meanwhile Heathrow Airport was forced to operate on the only other runway which inevitably led to delays. We paid a quick visit to Terminal 5 to get another perspective of the incident. Thankfully nobody was harmed in this potentially dangerous scenario due to the incredible skills of the entire crew.
