Happened to be at Blackbushe this afternoon - and saw what looked like an A340 500 out of LHR on what looked like a SAMPTON depature but the sun and clouds meant i could not get a good view of who the operator was .Could it be Arik air? Logo looked like Qatar airwarys but fueslagewas whiteish.
Any one got any ideas-was just intrigued

There are several A340 departures out of LHR. A time might help narrow it down a bit.

Seems it was the QTR004 (A7-HHK) which departed about 1420.

Yes i meant to include the time which i carefully noted at the time and then forgot to put it in the post.
That makes sense and indeed it looked like Qatar airways but i was confused by the routing which seemed all wrong for Doha of course. So am I right in assuming it is Qatar Emiri flight or similar ,I forgot that they look much the same as Qatar Airways
Thanks for response

You're welcome. Yes, that is the Amiri A340.
