I'm pretty sure only United and Delta fly the B764.

Certainly is!
Yes, my mistake, it was a -300, I flew on a -400 of Delta recently (nice experience). I think the wingtips made me think it was the latter. The Swiss A330 just went by, I personally haven't seen one of these in the last months coming in to LHR, just the A319 and the A220 (or whatever it's called). I thought Swiss had sent all their large-gauge stuff to Jordan ?
Seems silly to start a new thread even if this isn't about Heathrow.
According to FR24 9H-NHS A340-600 just went past me near Yeovil at about 10,000 ft. It's in a NHS livery and seems to have been shuttling between Cardiff and Bournemouth for a couple of days (maybe longer?). Anyone know why? Today was the first time I managed to eyeball it!

I've seen it climbing out of Bournemouth heading towards Clacton a couple of times in the last fortnight - assume it was heading to the Far East to collect PPE or whatever but can't imagine it's then distributing the kit over to Wales. Crew training perhaps?

Second A340 in NHS scheme 9H-EAL just returning to Bournemouth from Tianjin - just sailed over me at 12000....
I saw that as well, thought I was seeing things! Where have all the other ex-VS A346's gone ? Scrap ? Storage ?
There can't be much space left at BOH for any large aircraft to manoeuvre with all the BA aircraft stored there on taxiways etc ??

Back when Swiss were Swissair the first flight in from Zurich was a DC-10. Swiss switched to an A330. It was always full coming into London (lots of "bankers"). Going back it rarely filled so you could get on easily with a standby/staff ticket.

They are observing social distancing on the approach this morning, Alitalia A330 has done a nice big run down from Biggin towards Epsom, then back round Bromley to position about 8 miles behind the preceding BA 787!
DaveReidUK, do you know how many daily movements there are now?
