From what I could see they landed and stopped at the far end to unload. If wing clearance was an issue and they couldn't use the taxiway I was looking forward to them pushing it back the two miles to the threshold.

Many thanks to everyone for the information posted on here, it meant I managed to get across after work to see it depart. My first experience of one with engines running as I've only ever seen them static at airshows, an absolutely awesome beast 👍
