Expected Movements

I believe that the Welsh Government is responsible for the purchase of its own PPE, but it has previously supplied Northern Ireland and Scotland during the past year, this could be the reason for 7 cargo flights this week.

Many thanks for that, geoff.

From what i've been told the NHS in Wales has being buying PPE 3 ways via direct purchase by the Welsh government which i believe supplies have been shared with other governments in the UK. Via NHS supply chain and by direct purchase from the health board itself. A lot of the PPE for the latter 2 that's bought abroad has come via Heathrow i've been told. The company that provided the wagons to load the PPE on at Cardiff Airport is Owens Group transport that has several depots in Wales so i expect they are storing it for the WG as well which does help put money back into the welsh economy.

On the Cwl board Delta this morning was shown as a departure to Atlanta on the 13th, but I see now it has been altered to Brussels.

So could be staying for 4 day's then! I'll try and see if I can get some photos on Friday!

Well it appears that i missed the arrival and departure of British Airways only retro livery earlier on today. G-EUPJ arrived from Paris CDG at 12.10 and departed to Heathrow at 13.00. Anyone know why it was here?
Also Comlux Aruba B767 200 P4-CLA arrived from Glasgow this morning, i expect this may be COP26 related.
Saw these on SWAG facebook page.

As well the Ryanair flights to Dublin there will also be a British Airways departure at 16.00 today BA7031, i expect that this is the Wales team.
There is also a Jet2 flight to Dublin on 4/2/22 departure 10.00 LS6335. They are the only other extras.

It will certainly give a boost to the figures for February.
