You get some really interesting visitors with the Haj pilgrimages, it's the same in the UK from what I have heard.

A white Icelandic-registered 747, which is a more or less permanant fixture at Manchester, has been seen operating the Haj pilgrimage flights.

I remember January 4 ...

There was also a B747SP from Syrian planned, but at the end, it was replaced by a stupid A320

There is no weather to spot a B747-SP

According to CDB, still same a/c, but timings might change. No confirmation yet.

I will let you know if any further info available

In case the 747SP wouldn't show up look in the "aviation hobby" topics under "more drawings"
At least I've got a drawing of it and maybe tomorrow a picture of the real one... 8)

Just saw on www.biac.be that the Syrian flight of damascus is cancelled...

SAH9101 · Post by **SAH9101** » 07 Feb 2004, 20:08

It's rescheduled: 13.25 RB433 Damascus via Aleppo and Beirut

Sabena_690 · Post by **Sabena_690** » 07 Feb 2004, 20:17

@SAH9101: that's the regular RB flight...

The 11.30 B747SP has indeed been cancelled... maybe rescheduled to the evening?

No problem for Chris (Avro), for him there is no time/weather/... to spot a B747SP!

Checking Syrians website shows only the DAM>LHR flights are scheduled with 74L, all other European destinations (FRA, ROM, ORY.. ) seem to be flown with A320!

Only thing to do is go see the SP at LHR

Friday ETA1350 LHR
Sunday ETA1805 LHR

And now, the flight is cancelled...
