Thomson 747 at LGW this morning

Hi Guys,
This morning at appx 07.00 was looking out of the window as deps were on 8R and a 747 of Thomson.com went past the window–anyone any idea why it was here???–nothing on the BAA site about it taking off, or didnt appear to be a go around from landing!
FAB THOUGH-COULDNT FIND THE SCANNER QUICK ENOUGH!

It was indeed a Corsair 744 doing a Champions League charter. Other footy charters into LGW included FlyGlobespan 763, XL France A320, Flightline MD83, 2x VIA A320s, XLA/Iberworld A330, Blue Panorama 763, Dubrovnik Airlines MD83, JetTime 733, Orbest A330 and Air Slovakia 757.

Cheers
Alan

Possibly a Charter for the finals this weekend in moscow(although the teams are nothing to do with france or french avation)???:confused: :confused:

Just because Corsair is a French airline, does not prevent it from operating charter flights to/from London…my friend who went to the match (he’s a Chelsea supporter :D:diablo:) told me they flew from Luton on an Air Finland 757, so anything’s possible!

I’m confused… :confused:

Corsair also have A330’s which in my opinion look good in the Tui livery – Then again, most A330’s look good.

Thanks Guys,
I saw the colour and the shape and the tail logo as the .com bit–obviously half asleep!!
that was obviously what it was!
wish it was a regular visitor–heard a rumour that BA 747’s may soon be back here??????????

Thomson have 747’s? As in 747’s that say Thomson down the side of them? The only 747’s in that blue scheme I know are the Corsair ones. I’m confused… :confused:
