rumour on EAL and 747(s)

On Saturday there were 3 European 747’s @ BOH. One left Saturday evening to AMS & is due back Tuesday evening. Today G-BDXF (which had been @ Filton) has been engine running @ BOH & i understand that they have a contract fron the end of this month for 2 aircraft for 8 week’s, but i am not sure who for.

Bumping this thread back up with this little bit of news I picked up once more from the DSML list:

Hiya,

Noted this afternoon: G-BDXE European 747, active at AMS. The aircraft was
operating PY993 to Surinam (PBM = Parimaribo) . Guess the aircraft will
return tomorrow?

I saw two of them at Filton recently. they had the engines off of them, very sad……

it is true, they have re taken on staff and they are flying all over the place they are operating for fr in july to sept from boh to gro with the 737

Just to throw a spanner in the works – It hasn’t been sold on has it?

I think they mean the one that is currently parked at AMS, G-BDXO. It is in the new livery.

i prefered the old livery especially the geen one as i flew ont that to and from orlando sanford to gatwick in 2002 in 1st class

I never saw the new colours 🙁 🙁

EAL B742’s in the NC @ MAN were great. Remeber one waiting over 40 mis for us to leave Gate 27 to ORD last July, some frustated pax on board i thought to myself:D

This ones in Brazil? :confused:
