BHX Movements and Heads Up

[Kevin Farnell]

Yes it did indeed presumably another change of plan, originally shown as departing to Brize on the movementsblog

Today currently showing a 763? operating to Espargos and just one 737H positioning out to Bristol, must be nightmare for the planners.

I can't help thinking of 'The Fast Show' sketch - 'Loose Change'.

Seems like BRS getting a lot of Tui Max love. Five or six based.....worried about Jet2 maybe

Several cargo planes are scheduled to arrive this morning

SE-LPS West Atlantic ATP due 0810 from Isle of Man
G-BMRA DHL 757 due 0856 from Edinburgh
TS-ICA Express Air 737-300 due 0927 from Tunis

The moving target that is the TUI merry-go-round now showing 788 G-TUIH positions in from Gatwick.

The DHL 757 another for STS.

When I went passed earlier there was a lot of outbound freight ready to go near the apron & to my eye they looked like tall pallets …. maybe for another 747 ?

FR24 is showing National B747 (N919CA, NCR873) as due from Atlanta (ATL) at 11:11. The aircraft is shown to have flown Liege (LGG) -Atlanta (ATL) yesterday. So, possibly what the freight that Nethercote2019 observed at BHX is for.

Another National B747 (N729CA, NCR871) is showing, due from Rzeszow (RZE) at 07:25. Will either or both turn up?

National B747 (N919CA, NCR873) departed ATL at 23:59 (local) and is heading in the right direction. ETA 12:12.
N729CA, NCR871 was due to depart RZE at 06:05 (local). It's now 08:03 (local), but no sign of it.

Both National flights are showing live now. We should have two 747 on the ground together, for a while at least. A long time since that happened!!.

Let's hope so! Please, someone get a photo if this happens.

A third National B744F is passing through the Midlands in about an hour from Houston to Frankfurt ( N936CA).

I'm not sure it's going to pass over The Midlands. Looks more like South Wales and Southern England.

Just noticed that N729CA, NCR871, from RZE is very high at FL430. I'm guessing it's coming to BHX empty. Also, N919CA, NCR873, from ATL is also quite high at FL410. Some years ago, I flew on Malaysian Airways B744 from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to LHR. The flight was full and for the first 4 or 5 hours, we were at FL280.

Meridian AN-12 (UR-CIC) is due to arrive from LCA between 1700 and 1800 with the callsign MEM3007.

Another interesting cargo day!

Times for the two 744s

Arrive 09.57 depart 11.00
Arrive 12.01 depart 14.35

Both departing to Shannon.

Also two 737s of TNT and Express Cargo due in today amongst other freight traffic-busy day.

We got the 2 National B744F on the ground together, although the earlier arrival was taxiing out. At one point they were behind each other on the parallel taxiway.

Indeed we did and here they are. Heavy hitters.

Pardon the question, however I have been on holiday for a couple of weeks. Who/what/why are the National flights operating?

Many thanks
