I wouldn't say conspiracy, just some information is being withheld. I don’t want to make the airline/flight public in case some “rule bending” is taking place that would make it more difficult in future for other SLF on similar routes. PM me if you want fuller details, which I will give in confidence. Also, I was following it on FR24 and it was present – just vanished on landing which is strange.
not strange at all. That usually just means it had dropped below the coverage of the FR24 receiver that was forwarding its position. Especially at odd hours a lot of FR24 receivers are disconnected or off. I have seen this phenomenon many many times.
