4th June to be precise. G-CIVP operating repatriation flight BA9114 (some flight tracker sites logged the flights as BA58) from Cape Town - London. Fights operated during the day, departing CPT at 11.05 (local) and arriving LHR 22.15 (local). As far as I am aware, the old girls performed faultlessly and indeed my flight on 27th (VO) was swept home 45 minutes early thanks to a prompt departure and favourable winds
'VO and 'VP did these 7 flights from Cape Town between 23rd May and 4th June. The JNB expats had to do with an A380!
Never have I been more pleased to see a BA747-436 at the gate ready to take my family and me back to Blighty
