An aircraft reported as a triple 7 has this afternoon landed at Heathrow after taking off from HonK kong and flying the "long way round" non stop for 22hrs and 22mins covering a distance of approx 13000 miles. The aircraft was not carrying a full PS compliment and was piloted by an American Lady Pilot - one of four - who stated that the ircraft had a further 2 hours endurance in hand and could have diverted to Standard or Gatwick if Heathrow had been closed in.
