Looping Around the T5 Piers Waiting for a Gate

In February, we headed to the UK for a family wedding that we had really been looking forward to.  The overnight flight to Heathrow got us across the Atlantic.  When we landed, we headed for Terminal 5 to unload.  However, our gate was not yet clear.  We had made good time across the water, so we were a little early and the late departures of BA were not designed to accommodate that!  Instead, we started doing laps of the concourses while they waited for us to have a gate open.  We ended up parking on a taxiway for a while and then doing another half lap.  While this was not ideal, I did end up taking a few photos of the BA jets around the airport.
