Comic Relief bizjet into Northolt...?

[ithaca]

Anybody know whose bizjet was used to bring Chris Moyles and the Comic Relief celebs back into Northolt earlier this eve...?!

[AircraftOperations]

Wonder who would have paid for that...
The celebs themselves? The BBC? Fundraisers?

[Barnaby the Bear]

Who cares?
They raised around £1m. So doe's it really matter?

[Flintstone]

Those donating money might think so.

[Ballymoss]

I would hope the owner/operator footed the bill.....perhaps I'm being naive

I wouldn't for a minute knock what these folk have just done, something I wont be attempting anytime soon but, as I 'donate to the cause' I'd like to be sure my money is well spent. Of course there are overheads but, whats wrong with y class into LHR?

they still flew KQ as far as Schiphol......

[BizJetJockey]

Jeez...some people need to lighten up!!! Why so critical the whole time?

[robash]

for those who are looking for some reason to have an argument over this, the aircraft was a twinjet 604 and was not paid for by comic relief. end of story.

[TheOtherSide]

Looking at the news last night they were all stood in front of G-HARK / Twinjet. A quick look on CFMU reveals that it was infact Luton the flight operated into.

The Other Side.

Calm down calm down, it was just a question!

Which as of a minute ago I can now answer - Gary Barlow paid £50k for the jet that brought them home, it was a surprise for his team mates.

And if it did go into Luton, don't know why Radio 1 were reporting on the arrival from...Northolt!

[AircraftOperations]

So did they fly into the UK from Africa or Netherlands on the jet then?

[Privatejetbroker]

G-HARK flew AMS - NHT

after picking the pax up from their KQ flight

(then the aircraft flew back to its home base LTN)

[AircraftOperations]

OK.

Just hope Gary Barlow wasn't charged £50k for a AMS-NHT flight, and the figure is just a bit of media speculation.

[Privatejetbroker]

yup, i somewhat suspect the media 'plucked' that figure from the air!!

more like 15K maybe!
