Hi folks,

About 7:40 this morning a Corsair 744 flew over on approach to 15. I've just checked bhx.co.uk and it appears flight TOM 6294 from Palma was due last night, but arrived this morning at 08:19. Did the 744 replace the usual TOM aircraft?

It seems strange it took almost 40 minutes to land after I saw it though. I've flown over my house on the same approach in a 752, and we were down within 10 minutes - if that. I live in about 5 minutes away from IKEA Wednesbury. Those who know the approach will have seen the huge IKEA letters on the roof!

Anyway, thanks to all those who reply.
