Heathrow is back in business as holidays take off. A pilot needs help from the police with a very disgruntled passenger, fire engines give a bath to a Boeing triple 7 and new airline Rwandair deals with some very charming travellers.
Storm Eunice wreaks havoc at Heathrow airport, as staff deal with a deluge of delays and unhappy passengers, and also try to deter debris from hitting the runway.
Boarding passes ready as police mount a special operation across the airport. Plus, a five-star airline tries to make a comeback with its business class, and we go out with the new recruits of the grass cutting team.
Police detain a passenger whose bag is suspected to contain three firearms. Virgin has a rootin' tootin' launch party for their new route to the live music capital of the world - Austin, Texas.
Holidays are put on hold as it's the Queen's Jubilee and Heathrow is entertaining a 72-military aircraft flyby 5,500 feet above its runway, and passengers waiting for flights have a ringside view.
The last super jumbo of the skies, the A380, visits Terminal 3 - elsewhere, passenger numbers are at their highest, there's a dodgy substance in security, and there's also a potential waste disposal issue in a toilet block.
