Req Sat 26th

Post by tubeoligist » Sun Jun 27, 2021 3:29 pm

Hi,
Visited for the first time on Saturday as I was heading back up to Scotland after a family funeral. I have a couple of requests as the heat haze made it awkward to read off.
From the gate at the end of the runway I could see the following parked up between 10.40 and 12.00
A330 G-VYGL
A400 ZM419 and a second which was either ZM416 or 418 can anyone confirm
C17 possibly ZZ170 can anyone confirm
OO-LUM departed
At the hangar heading towards the gate
A330 G-VYGM with ZZ337 and two others
On the far side were three A400’s and three C130’s unable to read any off.
Cheers
Alan

There is no ZZ170 as the C-17s start at ZZ171 so it can't be that I'm afraid
Cheers

You could possibly work out some of them from the Brize Movements site :- https://bzzspotters.blogspot.com/

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply, had a quick look on the spotters blog.
I’ll need to get the C17 photo up on the computer screen to have another look, I’d just tried to read it off the camera screen.
