Gatwick Sat 28/06 for the Il-96

Went to Gatwick on Saturday (despite a less than promising weather forecast) for the Cubana Il-96 which was a mere 157 mins late :eek:. Did not expect to see much else of interest but had a couple of nice surprises before it eventually turned up.

UAE government 767

This 747-200 was apparently working a Monarch long haul flight. Can’t be many 200 still in passenger service

CU-T1250 arrives at a sunny Gatwick

Made the long trek to the other end of the airport to see the Cubana leave and saw this Virgin 747 go out.

More heat haze that I would have liked but then that’s the problem with the summer:mad:
