Coming in from Casablanca. They fly that route often

I've tracked then heading south and the track always disappears halfway across the bay of biscay.

Anyone know what the cargo is?

[djc206]

Fez's?

Fruit and veg I guess a lot of it is Moroccan at this time of year?

[Eric Mc]

I was thinking farm produce of some sort.

One has been leaving EMA around 19:40 each night for the last few weeks (maybe longer, I've only lived in the area a short time). You can hear it clear as anything over Oxford a little after 20:00, then heads south towards Southampton and out over France.

Yeah it heads down to LELNA usually at FL200-220 and off to Morocco, slowly!

Yeah I keep hearing the flight daily(ish). I'm guessing this can't be particularly cheap way of shipping freight as it's such an old inefficient aircraft, I wonder what it could be shipping daily?

Hmmm could have answered my own question, it could be this or possibly could be aid for Ebola or another African crisis?
