Due to taxiway work around T3 and lack of widebody stands, The AA B767 from Chicago will be using Terminal 1 for the foreseeable future. Passengers still use T3 and then get bussed to T1.

A clear case of how inadequate T3 is for current day operations. Lets hope the T1/T3 re-development finishes its consultation soon and gets started!

Are the Virgin B787-900 flights in connection with crew familiarisation? I ask because I see that NQY is involved. Although it's the possessor of the longest civil runway in the entire South West I can't imagine there is much call for Virgin flights.
