What we could be importing from Luanda except dirty money I cannot imagine. one would almost have to go back to the 60s to see the number of unusual airlines at todays slot constrained LHR where there is barely room for anything not already scheduled.
That sounds an intriguing pair of movements.
The arrival from Luanda was the same EuroAtlantic Airways B763 that flew out to Angola from LHR late on Wednesday evening.
I'm mystified by the other arrival you noted just before the above. There's a weekly Rwandair on Fridays, but that's an A330 and it arrives non-stop from Kigali (plus it landed more than 4 hours earlier, just after midday). I wonder what it was that you saw?
