Japan Air Force 747 @ LHR, 6/03/2010

Hey guys,

Was spotting @ LHR today when I saw a Japanese Air Force 747. Does anyone know why it was @ LHR?

Also, as I don't have access to an SDS Radar box thingy, what was the reg of the Air Canada a/c that t/o from 09R at 14:07 pm?

And what was the reg of the BA 744 that t/o at 14:08?

There were two Japanese military 747s at Heathrow. They are usually concerned with diplomatic visits.

And what was the reg of the BA 744 that t/o at 14:08?

Oooo, that's cheating. :)

(A friend of mine used to work at KLM Cargo at LHR and they would occasionally get folks calling to ask similar questions; "What was the reg of the KLM aircraft that just landed/departed". They would take them to task and refuse to tell then saying that obtaining the reg by not actually seeing the aircraft was cheating)

;)

I didnt photograph the air canada, but the BA B744 I think was G-CIVE.

No worries Capt_Flynn!

Yup, your right it was G-CIVE, was off to KMIA I think
