What AIRAC cycle are you using? The SID out of EGLL is associated with another runway. Probably 27R and not 27L. I don't even see a DME12 in the approach to runway 6 at EGPH. The attached image shows the last the last four waypoints before the runway and cover a distance of 32 miles. So I would think DME12 would be in there. However, you are correct about the plane not following the flight plan.  The plane is heading to the northwest based upon the first two waypoints. Prior to those two wapoints it turns to the northeast and flys directly to the airport and doesn't intercept the ILS LOC. So it's land by manual flight or nothing. I could use the same runways and try a different route. How would that be?
