What with the current publicity, do the Beluga's going into North Wales have any sort of regularity if you wanted to go and spot one?

Divide the A320 family production rate by 2, add the A330 rate and twice the A350 rate.

The answer should be roughly the frequency of Beluga visits to Chester.

Shouldn't this be a question for the Spotters Corner forum?

Went to Chester Zoo last year and two flew over morning then lunch time, believe there's a third in the evening.

You could pick through the Hawarden movements board and try to find a pattern:

Hawarden Discussion | North West Air News (http://derbosoft.proboards.com/board/14/hawarden-discussion)

I see they had four on the 4th.

You will be pleased to know they are building a bigger version of the Beluga so it can take two wing sections instead of one.

That's specifically 2 x A350 wings.

The current Beluga can already carry 2 x A330 wings or 4 x A320 family wings.

You could even look up the phone number for air traffic control at Hawarden and give them a call and ask.
