Whose B757 aircraft did GB charter to go to the USA?

Footage I saw has stars on the tail, which makes me think it would have been Titan in a VIP configuration.
Don't know which Airport it flew to though.

If BAW is good enough for the Royals surely it must be good enough for GB???!!

No BA spare capacity after a well-documented incident earlier this year.

And, in these days where everyone is monitoring carbon footprints and state expenditure, a 757 might keep some people happier compared to a 767/777/747.

Stars on the tail would suggest Astraeus - as far as I know Titan has some sort of wierd moon/planet type logo.

No doubt some enlightened techno-geek will helpfully post links. :8

It was Titan.

Saw a full pic in a newspaper.

Didn't see flightplans for it though - or certainly not with an AWC code.

Could it be flying without a published flightplan, such as Air Force One has done in the past?

I believe the aircraft is due back to LHR in the early hours of Saturday morning.
