And of course G-EUNB is an A318 - I stretched things a bit there! Or rather errant fingers did...

I saw a 757 this morning, (That wasn't a DHL!) and on looking it up it was a SCAT airlines (No Sh1t!) and had come from Almaty. Never heard of them before I must say, and certainly not that they were Kazakstani.

Sadly, the German aircraft register rules won't permit a D-WOLF

Our German sister airline has D-ALEK. Which they probably don’t understand.

I was going to translate the Dalek's rather limited vocabulary, then realised it would be a bit inappropriate...

A Privilege Style 767 went by earlier today into LHR, perhaps another repatriation charter from the USA or South America ?

I saw a BA 747 going by yesterday into LHR from Capetown. A veritable rarity these days.

Not a rarity but a nice low fly past by a Virgin A350 this morning, about 4000' - usually more like 6000' over mine except for go arounds.

AZUR Air anyone ? Can't say I've seen them before, certainly not at London Heathrow. A 767-400 of their's went by earlier today.

I suppose all the cargo only flights will continue as before, so at least the sky won't be so empty as you might think :-)

Sunday saw just over 250 movements - exactly 8 weeks since the last time that number was exceeded.

It was a former LATAM Chile/Air Canada/Aeromexico 767-300ER. I'm pretty sure only United and Delta fly the B764.

Definitely quiet at the minute - looks like a Swiss A330 due within the hour, have those been in before during the pandemic? I've noticed the more usual Swiss traffic.
