[rollo]

A400M ZM421 has now nipped off to Ottawa departed at 10:16.

Thanks as ever to Ian's blog for the info.

Possibly second guessing here but is it likely that volunteer firefighters are going to assist the folks in Canada and being civilians are embarking from BHX and not BZZ?

FR24 is showing AirX B737-700 (9H-ELF, AXY904K) due from Cancun (CUN) tomorrow at 03:29. No departure from BHX showing.

From Ian's blog, French Air Force DHC-6 Twin otter (I didn't know they had any), F-RACC from Everaux at 10:00.

Also, Armenian Govt A319, 701 from Heraklion at 17:30.

Both are first visits, but neither seem to be showing on FR24.

They have five of them and seem to be used for special op's. as far as I can tell.

ZM421 due back in at 21:16 from Halifax having departed to Ottawa on Saturday certainly getting around and joins ZM415 as a night stopper. The Elmdon site looking busy today with a few larger types including a 737BBJ 9H-BLF in from Cancun and the Armenian government A319 from Heraklion along with the smaller stuff and the regular freight traffic including the Lufthansa A321F tonight on its regular weekdays FRA-BHX- DUB-FRA run.

Due to the runway repairs at Brize Norton assume the Bahrain Airforce C130J coming here today? ongoing repairs till the end of the month.

The South Atlantic Airbridge Ascension/Falkands was meant to operate from BHX during the repairs but saw it operated out of EMA the past few flights

Strangely, FR24 has it listed as am Oman Air Force Bell 429 GlobalRanger (helicopter) due at 17:36. C130 far more likely, but even that needs to get a move on to get to BHX on time.

C130J can transport helicopters, maybe carrying one? not sure the Bahrainis and Oman are that co-operative at the moment to transport each others hardware though. If anything does turn up will be an interesting Acft for BHX though

The military currently on the move with A400 ZM415 currently over Bath due back at BHX later and the Bahrain C130J.departed earlier this afternoon to Reykjavik

Meanwhile 2Excell 737 G-NEWG due tonight at 11:57 bringing Villa (boo) back from their European adventure in err! Edinburgh.

Further to the previous post I traced ZM415's route today out of interest.Departing BHX headed NE out over the Wash over the the North Sea did various circuits and manoeuvres then headed SW down over Somerset turned towards the south coast turned again near Bridport heading towards Birmingham making a few circuits or touch and goes at Fairford on the way before landing back at its new home (temporary) at BHX just about a 4hr flight time in all.

Busy little

With a flight number of TOM796P, it's definitely operating for TUI. The 'P' at the end of the flight number, indicates that it's a positioning flight. Aircraft is LY-TRE.
