Not sure. I just tracked it very slowly into Heathrow. Via flightstats airport tracking using London Gatwick.

Just checked the VS iPhone app - it says English Rose (G-VROS) is still heading for MCO with ETA 1630 local. ?|

Strange. I was watching flights into Gatwick and it went across the screen, and looking at the status, it was descending and loosing speed. Then landed at Heathrow. I agree other tracking showing still on the way to MCO.

I saw something similar the other day on the plane finder and flight radar 24 apps on iphone , it just turned out to be a logistical movement from LHR to LGW I think Mustang Sally was flown in to cover the Orlando VS27 route.
I think the apps and websites are brilliant and I am always on them but very rarely there are some minor errors! I didn't see the incident your talking about myself.... any further news?
Update...VS 28 landed as normal from MCO this morning....
Just noticed an error on plane finder app...watching VS 36 G-VAST "Ladybird" coming in from Bridgetown to Gatwick it's over cornwall at the mo and its showing as coming from Orlando

Not really, over the last couple of months flightaware has been getting more and more inaccurate.
