LHR arrivals: 27.1.06 - 28.1.06

I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on the following unscheduled (I think) arrivals at LHR over the last 12 hours.

AZ 8810 last evening (27.1.06)
VS 9946 this morning (28.1.06)

Neither are flight numbers that I recognise as usual arrivals at Heathrow.

Thanks,
MM

Extra- sections perhaps. Just guessing.

There's nothing unusual about extra flights.. wonder why you're curious?

no, nothing unusual about extra flights but there is something unusual about these fight numbers for these airlines: and I was wondering about this.

That's all...

I heard a rumour that the VIR was possibly a charter to pick up the disgruntled pax from the QM2.

Yep from Rio and was a Cunard charter flight. There are going to be a few trips to SCL Santaigo and more to GIG as well i believe for a few months at least.
