Likely to be a VIP flight I'd imagine - especially if it is only flying to LHR afterwards. I think the Chinese Governmant do use an Air China 744 for VIP overseas vistis.

A useful site for answering Brum queries is the BHX forum

Birmingham deliveries this weekend
Sorry the first has been and gone but quite unusual for BHX to get three
in three days: -
Air Nostrum CRJ900 arrived 23.50 last night as C-FLMJ and I think departed as EC-JYV at 14.50
Air India Express 738 VT-AXH is now sitting in Gander per one tracking site
and should be in BHX at 9.40 tomorrow morning staying until Sunday 9am.
G-JECR Flybe Dash 8 is believed to be due Sunday sometime on delivery.
Obviously these are subject to change due tech/weather so please do not rely on the timings if you are coming to see them from outside the West Mids. I will try and post an update on the Air India Express.

Monarch at BHX
cparker
The Monarch aircraft are fairly straightforward at the moment although
the 320 has been subbed with 321 at least once.
Schedule flights to Malaga (Thu - Mon) in the morning is 321 and then followed by the Tenerife in the afternoon
The Tenerife also operates Tu & Wed as a 321 (daytime flights).
The rest of the schedule flights are on the 320 - Faro, Murcia, Almeria
and Alicante (Palma, Mahon & Ibiza do not operate in the winter yet).
The charter aircraft is a 321, which hardly does anything at the moment. Monday Las Palmas but this has stopped, Tuesday & Wednesday
nothing, Thursday schedule flight to Arrecife, Friday back to charter and
Tenerife. Saturday it will be Geneva I believe and Sunday might be Kitilla.
From April it is 4 based but I do not know whether it is 3x321's & 1x320
or 4x321.

However, Brum did get a DHC8 pass through on delivery today.
DH8A CGZKH diverted in whilst enroute LIMJ - EGPK for fuel due to strong headwinds. It later continued to Prestwick. It was in a white scheme with UN titles

Deliveries
Yes G-JECR arrived and went to the hangar (not sure if it is still there).
Also this morning JET 738 delivered VT-JGT 9W1999 . Arrived at 10.48
I think that there might be an Air India Express 738 due before the end
of the year as well.

VC10 into BHX?
I live in Wednesfield and am under the Downwind Leg/Base Leg turn for Rwy 15 BHX. (Great fun!!) Heard something bl00dy loud and looked out. A wonderful graceful sight greeted me! That beautiful unmistakable shape sent a tingle up my spine. (Can you tell I like the Vicky 10?!) Can not recall seeing it come over before. Is/was it a one off into BHX and if so, what for??
