Astraeus B752 G-OJIB arrived back at Gatwick from Norwich on 18/10 as AEU008P all white with Saudi Arabian titles.
It then left for Jeddah later that day as AEU108 bound for Hajj operations.

G-STRX (25621), which was already in a similar scheme, arrived at Gatwick from RAF Brize Norton the same day as AEU737P, before also departing for Jeddah as AEU004P

It makes me laugh sometimes.

Looking back at the "activities" list of some aircraft:

Ferrying troops in Iraq / Afghanistan

Extraordinary rendition flights

Then the Hajj.
