6x B747 movements in one day - that's more than any other UK airport today!

Below is all the B747 moments today in and out of UK airports:
LHR - 2 (CargoLogicAir)
STN - 2 (UPS)
EMA - 4 (2x Kalitta Air & 2x AirBridgeCargo)
DSA - 6 (4x AirBridgeCargo & 2x Air Atlanta Icelandic (op for Astral Aviation))

6 became 7 as AirBridgeCargo Boeing 747-800F VP-BJS arrived late last night with it departing in the early hours of this morning.

Sad to see such a low number before the pandemic it would have been a very different picture with BA and Virgin operating the type.

survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 3rd time. Now it looks likely I will get to cover work for 2 other teams.. Pretty please for a payrise? That would be a no and so stay on the min wage.
Live in Market Bosworth and take each day as it comes......
Well it looks like I'm off to Australia and New Zealand next year! Booked with BA from Manchester via Heathrow with a stop in Singapore and returning with Air New Zealand and BA via LAX to Heathrow. Will circumnavigate the globe and be my first trans-Pacific flight. First long haul flight with BA as well and of course Air NZ.
15 years at the same company was reached the weekend before last. Not sure how they will mark the occasion apart from the compulsory payirse to minimum wage (1st rise for 2 years; i was 15% above it back then!)
