Finally boarded for an 1850 departure and then did a tour of Hounslow followed by a long wait at the hold. Wheels up was about 1939 if I remember correctly.
CE wasn't full but the overhead bins were! So annoying when that happens but fortunately no-one took 2A so I occupied my usual 2C position and stuffed everything under the seats.
Happy to see one of the retro liveries next door but one...
Ride was fine, lucky to have missed the worst of the gales.
