VN-A143 did turn up a couple of hours later than planned. Sadly too into the sun for a good shot.
Other highlights 9Q-CBF 727,HZ-HM6 L1011,RA-96008 IL96,RA-85771 TU154, and after many yearss of waiting my last Singapore 747 😀 .

Errr…. A6-EYV is an Etihad A330 (c/n 272) ex C-GGWC of Canada 3000 and I-VLEE of Volare.

Oh well so much for me guessing it was EMA, about time I saw a new Etihad!

Right better be up there before 10 as I’ve not seen the Congo 727.

BBC site showing clear skies until 0300 then fog developing at 0600 giving way to cloud by 0900 before finally clearing around lunch. Hope we can get some light. Wind changing from westerly to easterly at around 0900 too, however very light. Officialy they should stay on 27s all day, but they might not 🙁

Just hope that it doesn’t use 9R. But that is unlikely due T5 cranes. At least with 9L I can get a photo through the fence after a dash from the visitor centre.
And I was going to wear my shorts tomorrow 🙁 .
Will post a confirmed ETA later

Sadly it looks like it may be a 9L arrival 😡 . The 9Q- 727 is still in too.
Also heard news that Jet Airways are to spart daily LHR A340
services from 23/4, arriving around 1800. Think they are leased from SAA?

I saw that bird at Tullamarine a couple of weeks ago, it’s a very eye catching livery
