Another A380 of China Southern came in after a few other 'new normal' arrivals late afternoon. I don't suppose that we'll see too many more of this type at LHR in the next few years as things are going.

It must be quite galling for the furloughed crew/employees of BA to see brand new aircraft being delivered to the fleet (even if ordered some time ago).

Titan's ex BA A319 G-EUNB is in this morning.

Edit: in fact it's just taken off...

Azur air B767-300 today - not seen them before. Saw the Alitalia B777 yesterday too - lots of interesting movements of late

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.

Citation X D-BEAR just left Heathrow over the top here - "my, Grandma, what big engines you have!"

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

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

treadigraph 23rd May 2020 21:44

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 ?

Arrived from SYCJ (Georgetown, Guyana).

SpringHeeledJack 26th May 2020 08:05

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

treadigraph 26th May 2020 08:39

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.

The way things are going we are going to see plenty of empty skies come June PAX 2 week curfew on arrival

SpringHeeledJack 26th May 2020 13:50

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 :-)

DaveReidUK 26th May 2020 15:56

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.
