The AN26 is showing destination from BHX as Zagreb.

The ROMCARGO 744 is still stuck with STS so we will have two 747s on the ground at the same time

Emirates Cargo due again Thursday and Saturday.Lovely jubbly stuff that’s According to the emirates cargo site and I believe it’s the last time it’s due as I think LHR have claimed back the EK9923 Frankfurt flights on Thursdays as their nothing that states of non Emirates cargo flights next week according to the website

Or it's going to MAN, as mentioned by rollo -

Posted on the MAN forum by Land 23R from SPD Travel that Emirates have applied for twice weekly Skycargo 777F flights with a scheduled that seem to match the one from BHX.

Is this the end of flights from BHX ?

You sure it’s a B747 not a B737-300

FR24 is showing West Atlantic B737-300 (G-JMCL, NPT217H) departing BHX at 11:15 and returning to BHX at 11:40. It seems to have been at BHX for some time. I guess this is a test flight. Has it been with STS?

It has been parked on the cargo apron for many days. Not sure if STS are involved.

I don't think its anything to do with STS probably just moved to accommodate all recent freight movements.

I was wondering why it had sat around for so long at BHX ?

It's not unusual for them to spend many days between work. The short rotation today may be required to keep it airworthy. Similar to the short flights carried out during the lockdowns with Jet2 etc.

I wish it was! Just got a mobile phone for the first time, and finding the keyboard extremely sensitive. Much easier on a PC with a keyboard.

Long time lurker in the forum, but there is a 747 parked up on the Elmdon apron.

Welcome to the forum, LV74 and thank you for your contribution. Do you have any idea of the identity of the B747?

Yes, it's a ROM Cargo 747 freighter.
It's nose cone was damaged by a hailstorm when it left Sharjah a week ago.

I thought I'd read that the ROM Cargo B747 had departed. Seems a long time for a new nose cone. Unless there was further damage, in which case why did it continue from Sharjah?

YR-FSA still appears to be grounded per FR24

If the nose cone was damaged while airborne out of Sharjah then I would assume they wouldn’t have noticed the damage until they landed at BHX.
