Anyone manage to see the Romavia B707 into and out of Heathrow last night? What was it doing there? VIP mission ??
Departed around 2000z, did anyone clock the arrival and routing?

From the Downing Street website:
Prime Minister Tony Blair and the President of Romania Traian Basescu met in London on 31 January 2005, on the occasion of the Romanian President's first visit to the UK after the December 2004 elections.

Might this be one of the last 707 operations into Heathrow? Or is there still any regular visitor?

No regular 70' ops into the row. There havent been any reg sked pax or frt services for many years now - think Saudia or Kuwaiti was probablyone of the last with their frtrs.
What does come are adhocs and vary month on month. We havent had one for a while, usually VIP or MIL stuff.
We had an N-reg one in pretty much once per week a while back in a green & gold livery N98AN or something like that, not seen it for about a year now.
It is strongly romoured that HZ-123 Saudi Arabian Government at SEN for the last 5years under maintainece is due to be hangared for 2 weeks in March with ATC Lasham at SEN for prep for a ferry flight to Aussie for QF's museum.
