In amongst all of the chaos wars and sadness in the world, HPSauce your daily posts on a silkway or Maersk cargo flight is more than welcomed. Thank you.

Ian Butty. Thanks for your kind words.
I do miss some arrivals, but try to inform our forum of anything of note.
I'm just pleased BHX has a much healthier cargo operation in recent times. I certainly didn't expect to see so many 747's as we do these days.

I agree with Ian, it’s great to know which cargo plane is coming in so I can see it go past my house 🙂

Amazing to see loads of 747s here these days!

Have we ever had as many 747 as we have in the last year or so ?

I think if you took all visits since CPAir way back when, you would not be that far off the last year. They remain the King of the skies. Those Airbus giants are pants by comparison. Will the 380 airframe still be flying nearly 60 years after the first flight?

Not to my knowledge, apart from the odd diversion here and there. I remember seeing a BA 747 divert here ages ago I think.

Not in my long experience. Wardair a couple of times a week back in the 70's. Highland Express for a very short time, and diversions from Heathrow, which were mostly BOAC/BA.
What we have now is considerable to those days. I hope it continues.
