Seems you’re right. Etihad A6-APG showing should have left at 0930 yesterday and delayed 35 hours?
Heard an unusual engine noise above the cloud, checking ADSB Exchange it turned out to be a B727-200 out of Lasham (didn't know there were any still flying) - M-STAR owned by Cayman Island registered Starling Aviation.
Valsan/Goodrich re-engined "Super 27" - quite a few of them still flying.

One Air 747 G-UNET just lining up with 28R at Heathrow... who?
Also... three AN-26s out of Brum today or was it two? Definitely two...

I wonder why almost 20,000 people are following a GLF 5 which is heading NE across the Atlantic from Buenos Aires?

There was no information provided on FR24. (N/A to N/A) A little diligent investigative work revealed it to be OE-LHU of Avcon Jet. A footballer was my thought, too.
A rather noisy (in a nice way) helicopter went past in the last 30mins, A Qatar registered S92 no less, possibly headed for Goodwood.
Whilst looking around I noticed an A320N VIP sat at FAB, G-KELT. It's showing a BA flight number on several trackers, though the flight number is currently headed towards Cairo on a real BA aircraft. How do things like this happen ?

Either a flaky transponder on the ACJ or a decoding error by a feeder - there is a 1 bit (out of 24) difference between the ICAO addresses of the two aircraft in question.

Southampton.
Lovely. Oddly enough, thought I saw it on Oshkosh videos last week, but I see it's been in Europe for a while. Maybe OSH last year... or one in a similar scheme.

Flicking through an old copy of Pilot earlier, reminded me that there was an HU-16 briefly on the UK register as G-BMDX nearly 40 years ago. Ex Spanish AF, it seems to have been abandoned at Shannon for a while before joining the G-reg, went to the US as N3JY in '86 and thought to have crashed off Grand Turk in '87.
Saw a Harvard over here last night, G-TEXN, so I suppose that should be a Texan. And while I was hunting fruitlessly for egg cups in Tesco just now, a flying object with the callsign WHE07 apparently blatted over - presumably a Merlin on delivery to a foreign air arm as it's currently about halfway between Margate and Rotterdam.
