Turns out only ZM421 arrived and is a night stopper, no details of its intended destination from BHX.

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

GLF5 due from Mumbai at 6am tomorrow morning.
Is this a speculation of Air India starting flights from Mumbai or is this just a day trip and business trip

A400M ZZ 415 originally due yesterday turned up this evening from Boscombe Down and joins ZZ421 as a night stopper.

Flew onto Boston this morning. Mumbai to Birmingham to Boston reccie? Or just someone having fun? Looking at it's flight history, most likely business.

The two A400M's ZM415 and ZM421 which seem to be temporarily based at BHX for most of the week are down to return tonight ZM 415 from Coningsby at 18::01and ZM421 from Scampton at 22:09 having earlier today being in Akritori on ops.

Looking at FR24 both appear to be night stoppers. Brize Norton must still be having issues still.?

 

[JENNYJET]

According to news disseminated from the BBC and across the internet currently, Oxfordshire is currently suffering from extreme heat that has impacted on the runway and some schools ( Akrotiri is apparently operating normally). Although military operations are not negatively impacted, alternate airfields have been deployed to assist where necessary. This is a long standing issue regards to the construction of the runway i.e. breaking up in patches with repairs being impacted by extremes of local weather conditions.

Make of this as you will. RAF Elmdon stands ready!

 

[tompo]

Extreme heat? The temperature data for August, so far, is just below average for Oxfordshire in general. Either the data is incorrect or something is seriously amiss.

 

[JENNYJET]

Journalism is amiss Tompo, I guess it refers to the June Heatwave ( anything over 21 degrees Celcius ) that hit the Home Counties whilst I consider things are bad at Brize due to shoddy work by MOD contractors. One can only guess.
