Give it a try on speedbird.online/flightsearch.php.

For those of you not familiar with the astonishing amount of data that is available on London Heathrow & Gatwick Airports: It is a collection of aircraft movements for both airports going back decades, at my count there are around 21 million movements recorded on the site. I have applied some gentle logic to the data as I loaded it to speedbird.online. In particular I have added estimated departure/arrival times for the non-London end of a flight (i.e. lhr-lgw would record a JFK-LHR with the arrival timestamp into LHR, most people would probably search by departure date - usually the day before). I have also used some old timetables to enrich the data were I thought helpful. I am in the process of matching the aircraft registrations received from lhr-lgw against current and historic fleet details, though the volume of data means that this will probably keep me busy for a while.

Let me know what you think...
This is great!
