Request: Voyager(s) Sunday 03/03/24

Anyone have the I/D of the Voyager parked out at the West end of the main apron pm. Chocked with what looked like various tapes and primed areas.
There was an A330 white bird on the Terminal too. Heat haze too bad to read either. MTIA, Rob

Is ZA150 still intact at Dunsfold, In answer to your question Rick. It certainly is, I drove past on Sunday 24th, Easily visible from the A281 roadworks. I went by on Oct 5th and ZA150 appears to have been moved down to the far end by the ex BA747. Previously it seemed much closer on a spot nearer ...

Hi, seen dropping the team during the Sunday show but it's serial eluded me.
I saw 85-1607 at Andrews in 2000 so I'm hoping it was 85-1608.
Nothing in the 'BAR' report for the show; no show report on 'Scramble'. :(
Nothing in SEAR report either.
Thanks for looking - cheers, Rob
