G20 Speculation (Merged)

Am suprised FR hasnt complained about delaying Flights at STN with all these goverment arrivals. You know what MOL is like:diablo:

My first Il-62..

Seen departing Stansted today.. applologies for the poor pics but i had literally just arrived.!

Brazilian AF B737 parked on the remote stands at LGW last evening when I flew in from GCI. Didn’t notice anything else particularly exotic.

Landed at Stansted

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7974867.stm

Something large and shiny has just landed at STN and to add to the confusion, those Blackhawks have apparently now morphed into Merlins :diablo: Don’t you love those Journo’s

AF1 and the accompanying E-4B are currently letting down over the Midlands.

They just said on the radio that a couple of Chinooks and a couple of blackhawks plus one other helicopter was just seen near STN, so it looks like the rumours may be correct, unless its all a big ruse ?

Saudi 777 is due at 19:30 (STN).

Tom,

Sky news has said Stansted but theres a decoy 747-200 in the air aswell, and then theres 4 or 5 versions of ‘Marine 1’ when they get to here.

Sky news reported all that this morning and shown the departure, which I didn’t think was allowed cause I’m sure I read filming of Air Force 1 or Marine 1is not allowed…

The BBC showed footage of Air Force One about to depart from the US but didn’t say where it was going into, even though I’m pretty sure I saw a clip with STN in it. It’s probably quite understandable why they don’t definitively say where it’s going into.

I seen HZ-HM7 MD11 (Saudi Royal Flight) yesterday on my Airnav Radarbox I presume that was going into Stansted

08:31A
UAL9888 (N782UA)
B772
KADW-EGSS

Nothing filed from the USA to arrive at STN around 19:00…

There’s also a couple of DC10’s due into EGUN from KFFO at 14:00 and 14:50 but they’re prob nothing to do with it.

The USAF C32 is departing tomorrow evening at 2105 (local time) to Stansted from Amsterdam.

The IL96 is departing at 1935 for Heathrow.

There seems to be some misinformation doing the rounds re the USA visitors, it may be being done deliberately for security reasons.

Someone also mentioned an Ethiopian 737 is due at STN as well but I couldn’t quite see where they fit into the G20 thing, so it might just be a general movement

Also from Scramble.nl’s forum:

Come on, chaps.

We only need one thread for this.

Cheers

GA

For the Saudi’s off the top of my head i think there Entourage is!

An MD-11, Boeing 777, Boeing 747SP and the 757 Hospital.

A couple of Il-96 and a 62M are rumoured. Saudi’s and their large entourage are due in at some point in the next few days at STN as well, which could mean up to 5 aircraft.

You guys should see whats coming in to Stansted 😎

We know I just hope . we can get near the place to see what is in there.

Latest reports say 19:30ish tomorrow into STN (but don’t hold me to this). The ruskies are also due in that afternoon/evening, so should be interesting!
