Can't remember the actual times, but they are not going until feb and march next year so you've got a few months to play with.

Unless they have changes the timings, one BMI A330 comes in somewhere between 0900-1000 usually on a Domestic Run going out again around 1200-1300 on Long Haul to the Middle East/India.

The 757 Varies sometimes its the within a similar time frame of the A330, All depends on its route. (Mainly Domestic/Eastern Europe or Iran)

Try:
Heathrow & Gatwick Airport Movements

for previous flights and times.

No it bloody well doesn't. Where did you get that idea from?

They run the Tel Aviv, Cairo and Saudi Arabian routes so have a look at the timetable on BAA Heathrow: Welcome to Heathrow Airport | Parking | Terminal 5 or the above movements site for the actuals. They tend to park on the Europier if that helps.

BD772 from CAI is scheduled into LHR at 0850 but is an A321 at the minute.

BD762 from TLV is scheduled into LHR at 0950

BD764 from TLV is scheduled into LHR at 2300

BD776 from RUH at 0555

bmi DO NOT USE the A330s on domestics runs!

usually on a Domestic Run
Your use of the word "usually" is misleading. BMI have enough issues without people implying they routinely use heavies on the domestics. BA occasionally use the B777 on the LGW domestics, but *ONLY* when something has gone awry and rather than cancel the flight, they use whatever equipment is available. This is an admirable trait of a good airline and whilst I don't think BMI are as good as they were, we should bear the above in mind.

On the June 21st onwards it was used EDI/MAN-LHR for a 2 week period.
Which A330? The ACARS for all three, G-WWBB / D / M suggest otherwise. I can check the logs from lhr-lgw.co.uk tonight, I am curious but sure you are wrong.

Thanks, I remember someone saying they did funny routes during the change over something like:

Chicago-Manchester-Heathrow-Mumbai.

But it was very short peroid during 2008.

They were never scheduled to operate LHR-MAN. The only times it ever happened was when a 330 went tech, so either the MAN 330's or LHR 330 went up or down to cover the route.

Yeah as mentioned the A330 defo does not operate on Domestic flights & bmi do not operate Long Haul or to India anymore. BD53 on 21Jun09 was operated by A319 G-DBCC.

The B757 also doesn't operate Domestic/Eastern Europe/Iran flights but is solely used on flights to Bishkek via Almaty & Freetown.

A330 Schedule:
As Mentioned in previous posts

B757 Schedule:
BD991 1..4... LHR 1150 ALA 0130, ALA 0220 FRU 0320 B757
BD991 .....6. LHR 1230 ALA 0205, ALA 0255 FRU 0355 B757
BD967 .2..5.. LHR 1330 FNA 2025 B757
BD967 ..3.... LHR 1110 FNA 1805 B757
BD967 ......7 LHR 1150 FNA 1845 B757
