Dan Dare. .. .Can you not tell whether it is a special flight from the callsign, one that would not normally be associated with that aircraft / Route.. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the Queens flight with BA out of EGLL to the windies use speedbird 9*** . .or something like that. Don't BA also use callsigns in the 9 thousands for positioning flights to Cardiff etc. Maybe that would be a clue.. .If he was on a scheduled flight then you wouldn't have any clues, if he was schduled he would be held like everyone else.. . . . <small>[ 07 March 2002, 15:52: Message edited by: Sonic Cruiser ]</small>
