The general consensus is that this is a type 1st visit, A340-500. Either way it went into the book. Light was crap and I’d just ran 100 yds up a hill hence poor quality.

You are forgiven, although the ‘football team or other’ taunt remains an issue. 😉

It was a 1st visit of a -500, the previous Etihads had been -600s, as were the Lufty and Virgins. Call me pedantic.

There was an Etihad one in last month picking up some football team or other. It wasn’t United so I wasn’t interested.
Etihad had one divert in last Christmas day. Lufty and Virgin have also diverted ones in over the years. Nice to see it though.
Don’t know why this one turned up. Nobody involved with it knew why either!
