American AA107 is doing some strange manouvers SW of LHR. Is it having trouble?

OK folks, stand down! AA107 has finally headed direct to JFK after a scenic tour of SW England. I bet the bosses at AA are mad about the waste of fuel!

No, it was avoiding some nasty thunderstorm cells

Not quite 'direct'. Anything but, in fact
It was on one of the North Atlantic (westbound) organised tracks - open the link below, and it's one of the green tracks

Thanks Sage, an interesting map which I have never seen before. Presumably the flights over Devon are normally using the blue routes?
