UK South England VIP 747 Operator/Base?

[Tray Surfer]

Hello All,

There is currently advertisement going on for FAs for a UK, South England based/operated 747 VIP operation.

I have been looking everywhere I can to see if I can find out some more information about who the operator is, or which aircraft it is, but can't find anything at all.

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about who it may be?

PM if more appropriate.

Thanks,

TS

First.officer,

Indeed they do operate a 747SP VIP, I think either still, or used to be 2 of them. Thanks for your time.

Think you will find its the outfit that currently operate the private 747 SP VP-BAT out of Bournemouth. Its about to be joined by a 747-800. Think its something to do with the Qatar royals but not certain about that. Cobham are currently extending the hangar for it.

If you google you will find pix of the 800 test flying at Everett last year. Think its VQ- ?

[Tray Surfer]

Thank you Savannah Jet…

The 747 at Bournemouth is owned by the Sultan of Brunei. Rumour locally was that his wife was the main pax and she used it for her European shopping tours.

[SpringHeeledJack]

Wasn't it the ex-emir of Qatar's steed ?

[747flyboy]

This aircraft used to be (or still is) managed by Worldwide Aircraft Holding Co and it's owner indeed is related to Qatar. Is the management company changing?

[747flyboy]

That's sounds interesting LGW Vulture. Can you share any info regarding VIP 757?

[Travelman Africa]

will be operated by TAG for TCS/tui

[LGW Vulture]

......and there you go!

Qatar "Armini" Flight… *giggle*

On a serious note… That is one sexy looking BBJ… :)

[SCSflIer]

I like the line about the "old" one remaining in service for his daughter! Holy :mad:

[Tray Surfer]

And his wife… Apparently, they enjoy day trips around Europe to go shopping.

Zurich, Paris, Hamburg and Rome.

Sounds like fun to me! :D

I don't mind carrying the bags… :ok:

Hi All,

Just to confirm, the 747-18 is housed in the Cobham Hangar. The owner (un disclosed) has recently acquired a 747-400 this will be shortly housed in Hangar 12 which has recently been extended ? More to follow.

[ericlday]

More to follow - is that more planes or more info ???

[Una Due Tfc]

VP-BAT used to (and may still) belong to the former Amir of Qatar. IIRC he was deposed by his son while he was on holiday. I'm told he spent $40,000 on a gyroscopic bed, stays level while aircraft is turning. Marvelous

[specialbrew]

If It was $40,000 then it was well cheap...... a simple shower on a Biz Jet costs in region of $1M upward. A decent double bed about the same price I would think.. never mind a Gyro stabilized one!

Tray Surfer,

You asked about the B747-8I BBJ to be based and the current B747-SP at Bournemouth, Hurn Airport.

It is a confidential operation but I may be able to help you out with who to contact for a position with them. What type of position are you looking for and what is your background?

If you would like to PM me with your details etc I will contact the party concerned directly and pass on your details to them if they are interested.

Kind regards,

VAMY.

I wonder if this is the aircraft currently sitting in LFSB awaiting a test flight.

[Tray Surfer]

Are there a few completions places at LFSB? Or just the one?

[LGW Vulture]

Two in LFSB - AMAC and Jet Aviation.

[Tray Surfer]

Ta Vulture… I could have googled, but knew you would know… ;)

[cheesemouse]

VQ-BSK just arrived at Bournemouth. Very impressive.

Anyone know what is going to happen to VP-BAT?

[tommoutrie]

A gyro stabilised bed that stayed level while the plane was turning would be bloody annoying as it would chuck you out of one side or the other.

[backtrack26]

Anyone know, who takes care of their flight support: flightplan filing, arranging handling etc. ? (Jeppesen Flight Support?)

tks

You have a PM
