I've just watched an RAF C17 trundle past the window at Heathrow.

Anyone have any idea what it would be doing here?

Can't 'see' why that would be so unlikely:

Think hes referring to the current TV add where the space shuttle ends up arriving at Luton airport.

Ah, I thought the C-17 / Heathrow scenarios had been pretty well explained here, so assumed it's not such an uncommon event:
