should be 07:47 iyam.

Latest I've seen is a simultaneous departure at 08:30 local, with the aircraft that departs on 27L performing a circuit followed by a pass, also on 27L, at 08:47 (07:47 UTC).
Only one of the two is bound for Kemble, with the other going to St Athan. |
I didn't think it was set in stone but Kemble seem to be awaiting two and the rumour being one 747 will be sited intact at the airfield.
|
Is VY doing a circuit to the south at 4000ft? Now lined up for an approach again.
|
Saw that as well, did a fly by at around 700ft down the runway then off to St Athan.
Just spotted him flying down the Severn towards Cardiff 09:25. |
BBC transport correspondent unable to find about that
|
VB looks like it's on the ground at Kemble. :hmm: Sad day. Also, I still recall the place when there were Argosies, Brits, Andovers etc all being retired. Same role, different aircraft sadly. Ah well. H 'n' H

Thanks - very nice !

Out of interest what happened to the one painted in BOAC colours? What a waste of all that money, time & effort if it's gone to the scrappy.

I believe it is presently stored at Cardiff.

An unusual visitor yesterday in the form of Sunday Airlines and a 767. Can't say I've ever heard of them before, in and out of Alma-Ata.
|
Pretty sure I saw a 727 come in yesterday afternoon, didn't show up on PlaneFinder - anyone know what it was?

The only three-holer that I'm aware of yesterday was a Falcon 7X into Farnborough about 13:30 - not wishing to cast aspersions on your aircraft recognition skills ! |

The two tracks in question:
https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....90c108c755.jpg No overlap, so the flightpaths may help the OP to deduce which one they saw (if either). |
It was certainly a T-tail and it was westbound on approach to Heathrow so it must have been the Global 6000 - I only saw it from the rear quarter. Thanks both!
