England World Cup Flight

Ahoy!

Anyone know what time this is due to depart?

It it from Heathrow?

How do they select crew for this flight?

Is it a normal scheduled flight or private?

Looks like its out of LHR. Dont know Flight time, England team due to meet at hotel in Heartfordshire at 16.00 so would presume a early evening flight i.e between 19.00-21.00.

Would be good if someone could confirm flight time. I need an excuse to get away from the missus.

I guess the hotel in Hertfordshire will be Sopwell House in St. Albans?

Hopefully they have better luck than the poor Nigerians. Stuck in STN after there Luzair 767 (CS-TQI) had tech issues. I heard that the Nigerians refused to get back on it so an alternate aircraft was sourced. Anyone konw what the alternate was? I saw the Luzair 767 depart to Doncaster of all places yesterday afternoon.

I couldn't figure out why the Nigerians would end up in the UK between Nigeria and South Africa but apparently they've been on a training camp here!

The US team arrived in South Africa on the scheduled SAA flight from Washington.. so far the only team to arrive on a chartered flight are the Australians, the rest have been on scheduled flights, the Germans are due to arrive this weekend on the first Lufthansa A380.
