UK South England VIP 747 Operator/Base?
 
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

See.....now there's a tip for you.

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- ?

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.

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

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 11th Feb 2014 10:42

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

Qatar "Armini" Flight… *giggle*

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

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

Tray Surfer 26th Feb 2014 12:15

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:
