No reply yet from Chris... I guess he is still at BRU waiting for the 747SP?

If he is still there after 12hrs, i'm sure he got his log.

Flight was apparently not cancelled as I saw the Boeing 747 SP at the B-pier at around 12.00

I guess the return is just a ferry flight? It's not on BIAC.

LOL nope

Well, since I saw that it was canceled I decided to continue to study and didn't went to BRU. Apparently I was wrong and should have done the opposite

BTW are you sure it'll be there tomorrow (I mean the B747SP) ??? or is it still another false alarm ?

Ciao

I know I know

But since B744Rules told that it might here on tuseday, I thought that it might come back :rotate:

Didn't found any extra information in the Spotters database...

Chris,

sorry you missed it, but I'm unable to check the CDB at home (maybe in the future), and as I mentioned, I've got a few days off and thus unable to confirm this rumour.

More luck next time.

As this was a special hadj flight, there is no RB 747sp scheduled in the near future

Let's hope they'll come back with the B747SP during the next hadj

Chris: check out when they are due LHR, take your binoculars, wait for a blue sky and spot!

I have spotted YK-AHA already about 11-12 times. I saw YK-AHB two times in one week about 3 weeks ago.

Yesterday I spotted an A320 of RB on the way to LHR, I hope it's one of the two I still need...

@Sabena_690

A dot spotter in our midst! Presumably using ACARS as scanners are not allowed here.

It's a long time since I did any serious dot-spotting in my Manchester days.

Not using ACARS + scanner, Ray!

I just write down the aircrafts of which I know I can tie them up (for example ALL LON-Asia traffic I see can be tied up, together with the flights to/from BHX and MAN). Also the CDG-Asia traffic can be tied up via ACARS websites.
