After seeing some post about the ex-GINTL, being rereged and prepared for a flight to Prestwick , took a wee trip down to see if it actually Turned up
All white , but with AFX titles under the nose and the FX still visible on the Tail
Possibly it might be doing a flight tomorrow, heard a conversation between the pilot and ATC so one to watch out for
Also there was RAF L101 ZD953
and Visiting HA-LPA

Hi All
It was due out today 04-04-07, but during the flight up, the crew shut down a engine, so it might be still there for a few days ,if I hear anything more will keep you posted

….heard somewhere that it would fly all the way to PIK with the landing gear down. I was going to ask was it down when you saw it LOL 😀
I can confirm that the landing gear was down when it landed:p
I did see it turning on to approach over Arran , but the heat haze was really bad so could not see if the undercarriage was down as it turned onto the ILS
