BHX Movements and Heads Up

[HPsauce]

Thanks Kevin. Every National B744 has been a different reg lately. The spotters will be pleased!.

 

[Kevin Farnell]

I'm just delighted to see B747's back at BHX. Although, it's even better to fly on them - one of my all time favourite aircraft!

Air Tanker A330-200 (G-VYGK, TOM757) is due back from Dalaman (DLM) at 20:55.

Posted by Olton Pete on another site the Air Tanker A330 will be with TUI for two weeks operating mainly from BHX. Teneriffe tomorrow.
Apparently it will be fully crewed by Air Tanker but with some additional liason cabin crew on board from TUI.

We fly back tonight from LPA (Jet2) due in around 0100hrs will report in due course re arrival performance as well as our departure experience.

Sunwing B738 C-FYBN is due in 19.55E from Toronto. Presumably for TUI use through the summer.

No sign of the National B747 yet. If it was to make the ETA, it should be well on it's way by now. However, previously flights have operated a day or two later than originally planned. So, it may still turn up.

Kevin

 

[HPsauce]

I was thinking the same Kevin. It may well be tomorrow now.

My Favourite was BA001 aka Concorde

FR24 is showing BA E190 (G-LCAA, BAW7031) expected from LCY tomorrow (Sat) at 09:06.

 

[Kevin Farnell]

West Atlantic B737-300 (G-JMCL, NPT733P) has just positioned in from EMA (arrived 21:50). As far as I can see it's next flight is BHX - STN tomorrow (Sat) at 08:00.

FR24 is showing BA E190 (G-LCAA, BAW7031) expected from LCY tomorrow (Sat) at 09:06.

It’s operating a charter to Düsseldorf at 10:00.

BA7031 used to be the callsign for their Saturday flights to Malaga a few years ago.

Ian's movements blog shows a National B744F in from Rzezow 14.35E N919CA. Out to Houston 17.35E.

Never in all my years managed to fly on a 747 but seeing it the other day hit me in the feels. Tis' a graceful bird. I know the 380 is my favourite plane but the 747 still has that awe doesn't it?

I remember the days of Ward Air and having to stop at was it Prestwick? to take on more fuel for the Atlantic crossing but love now that the airport finally got its extension to enable a 747 to do a flight to Houston non stop without having to land somewhere else to refuel.

 

[HPsauce]

Today's National B744F was cancelled according to FR24. Arrival from Rzezow had been moved to 20.15 but no longer happening. Another day perhaps.

 

[Kevin Farnell]

FR24 is now showing a National B747 for tomorrow (Sun) from Dover (DOV) at 07:28. This time, it is giving a registration and callsign (N702CA, NCR873) so there may be a higher chance of this operating.

Kevin

 

[Kevin Farnell]

Oh well, It's now shown as 'Cancelled' on FR24.

Kevin

 

[Kevin Farnell]

It now says 'Scheduled' again

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Kevin

 

[Kevin Farnell]

It's on its way, ETA 09:57.

Loooooong flight from Dover, done it a few times the jet lag from all the time zones soul is destroying. Crew definitely going to need a rest after that leg.
