747 at Stansted?
Hi Guys
Everytime I take a flight out of Stansted I see a white 747-400 with a green and red stripe on the tail parked next to Harrods Aviation. Does anyone know who it belongs to and what it does? Is it based at STN?
Thanks

Red Arrows STN.
Don't have an answer as to WHY the red arrows pass down the runway but Punch is'nt fibbing.
Around 2yrs ago they done it while i was on shift. First was a low pass over the runway in formation, followed by a tight turn around sat1/cargo apron then lining back up for a full stop landing on rwy23. They parked up over the north side for a while aswell.
Was quite a sight.
Regards.

Maxjet
Maxjet had problems with charters they had been doing. Thats why the flights did not run as for EOS cant give an answer dont know why.
Plus a divert into Gander did not help them this week.

MXJ930 went from MAN onto Nairobi.
Assuming it was a special charter of some description.
Maybe it was for pax who are considered more important that running a scheduled service for a couple of days.
Not quite sure why the aircraft wouldn't use STN, rather than MAN - unless it was payload/range related.

Maxjet Charters
They have been running some adhoc charters yes. There have been parties and other events.
The charters sometimes make more money than useing the aircraft on its normal time table. But Gander has become a new Maxjet base after engine problems.
Plus those who where at STN Sunday would have LTU operating AB's TXL.
