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.

Jennyjet, An upgrade to my law degree, have now been upgraded to a Masters in Laws from Birmingham University to add to my Doctor of Jurisprudence as awarded by Harvard Law School. I am somewhat humbled, imposter syndrome in play here!
9 trips in 9 days done 70 miles walked and over 23-00 photos taken with a large number taken at 20mph or above. Heavy rain on 1 day only
5 trips done and 45 miles walked,. Also the RAF has had 4 F35B Lightning follow me yesterday and today....
My plans got altered slightly as one of the minibus companies had to cancel 3 trips and refunded me but will be getting nice discount when I rebook them.
wondering why on my "holidays" I choose to get up 2 hours earlier than when going to work. 6 trips in 6 days soon coming up with 3 more days to sort out
All ready for my holiday to Iceland on Sunday! Flying with TUI for the first time.
