Nice, Kenn Borek out of Bremen.
I see the French Air Force detachment to Hawaii overnighted at Travis AFB and are now about halfway across the Specific to Hawaii. The two A330s are taking slightly different routes...
Edit: they ain't going to Hawaii! Tahiti looks a good bet...

Ah at Beckenham Road tram stop and see he is departing eastwards north of Cambridge.

2-VJWR, A330 out of Belgium. According to ADS-B exchange info, appears to be a British aircraft. I know the reg is Guernsey before anyone points that out, as it is used now by a few companies including the EAL A340's at Bournemouth. So what was the previous reg of this A330 is more my question?

2-VJWR is ex VT-JWR which I think would have been Jet Airways. Maybe Jason U has bought it... 
Seems to have done a test flight out of Woensdrecht and back to same. Can't say I know if there's a conversion facility there, but no doubt there is! Might it be a tanker conversion like the UK civil-regd examples ?
Nothing so exciting, I'm afraid - destined for Nordwind.at Sheremetyevo.
