I think he keeps his helicopter in there as well. Some one told me there is 8 ground crew/enginers there as well,plus flight staff.

According to a post in a Heathrow spotters group over the next week 4 BA 747s will reposition from Bournemouth to Cardiff on 5th, 8th, 10th and 13th June last one is the Landor livery. With another potentially coming from LHR.
Looking at a photo I've just seen at the moment CWL has 8 747s and 4 777/787 onsite.

Not one of ours I’m afraid we did have a pleasure of welcoming the Challenger 604 today.

not sure if any relevance but Bristol runway Works in Progress yesterday for several hours. Maybe it was on standby for movements especially the week before quarantine scandal

 

[mathers_wales_uk]

I think that maybe it unless they start getting aircraft out.

I believe there should have been an additional B747 in from Heathrow yesterday that didn’t show up.

If aircraft don't depart it'll be interesting to see where they park the extra aircraft.

Now if they are returning more B772 to service the Instantaneously that makes room for a further 4 aircraft.
However if they want to keep shuffling the planes around then they can fit more on their own apron.

we shall see

Great to see return of the Championship. Eastern Airways Embraer 170 & Embraer 145 parked on the Cambrian Apron this afternoon.

There was a BA 747 landed in Kemble yesterday. Do you think that could have been the one.?

No that was a Corsair this was the BOAC one I believe.

It changed livery and owner and destination in flight. They did a good job as Kemble not far from LHR.I have a nephew that works on 747 aircraft in LHR and they sent one to Kemble that day. So the mystry deepens.To be sure what landed was to actually see the aircraft as what did land. Mathers also said the 747 did not turn up. So in a way im a bit lost as what happened.

I can only go off FR24 but in the last 7 days Kemble have had a Saudi 747 arrive from Leige and a Corsair 747 arrive from Orly.

I really hope this is still at CWL in July!

British Airways are operating a flight to the Faroe Islands at 10am on the 19th I think it maybe for Barry Town FC playing in the first round of the Euro competition.

I wonder if we'll see a mainline A319/A320 for this? I did see a tweet by a fan going to game and his itinerary was via Amsterdam and Copenhagen from Cardiff with KLM and Atlantic Airways with an overnight stop in Copenhagen. Not an easy place to get too!

ALK airlines of Bulgaria, operating a flight from Sarajevo into CWL 12noon on 18th, departing to Sarajevo 10am on 20th.

 

[Jerry]

Fingers crossed it'll be a MD88!

 

[Seasider]

They only have MD88's don't they?

 

[geoff]

Wikipedia says they have four 737's, if that is correct.
