Archive Spotting Movements Log & Heads Up

Yup it blasted over my locality last night, wondered what the hell was going on. Never known a 747 depart from Warton before.

 

[RhysTheBeast]

Warton is a BAe field. Used primarily for testing BAe aircraft, such as the Typhoon. If a 744F was there, may have been collecting parts to deliver elsewhere, or vice versa.

Hasn't Saudia Arabia recently just bought Typhoon jets?

 

[RhysTheBeast]

All I can say is that Saudi is one of BAe's biggest customers...

Have we ever had this kind of upgrade by Turkish Airlines? TK1993 is an A332 and TK1995 is a 777 today.. Been a few instances of double A330.

It's been reported being operated by VT-JWP.

On course for being an hour early! Better clear a space for it so it's not hanging round on the tarmac waiting for a gate.
