That is an amazing load of information Julian. It looks as if you have
done quite a bit of research ... ;-)
Aircraft normally land into wind (reduces landing speed, landing run,
tyre wear etc... ) and takeoff into wind (reduces takeoff run, tyre
wear). The prevailing winds are southwesterly so that would normally
explain. I would have been very surprised if it had not used the
easterly runways last week when we had easterlies.

Concorde generally is routed to take - off and land westbound. They
aren't supposed to do this, but they do. It breaks the fair sharing of
