Boris is making steady progress. Just exiting Iraqi airspace. Can a A321 make it all the way to India without refuelling, or will he need a stop-over in the Middle East?

A 321 Neo in theory could, the range is 7400km, whereas Delhi is approx 6700km. I guess the Titan one is limo spec, rather than cattle class, so the range may be better anyway.

Some more info on their website: https://www.titan-airways.com/fleet/airbus-a321neo...

It did a pit stop in Dubai. I wonder why he took Boris Force 2 rather than Boris Force 1 (ZZ336) that could have made it in one go?

That's probably busy on refuelling duties elseware in Europe

ZZ336 was supporting military ops in the North Sea yesterday, so i guess the RAF called first dibs?

Good, let's hope so. They must love their subtle paint scheme on their tanker!

I wonder when our 2 Falcon 900's will be ready for Royal/'VIP' use?

Great spot. I can't see it on any apps now but that will be one of the Antonov Airlines A124's that are now blocking their info on FR24 for obvious reasons.

This is a funny one. We get A400Ms passing daily at 10,000 ft. You can hear them long before they arrive and long after they’ve gone past. Indeed I heard this one earlier on his way North East. What we don’t normally get are low flying A400Ms around here. The same aircraft just returned at 675 ft and even though I knew it was there and I am only a mile away, I heard absolutely nothing. What was amusing is that he flew directly 400 ft underneath some poor bugger in a Robinson R44 helicopter! The chopper seems to have spun round 360 degrees in shock at that point!

Details still show up on ADSB Exchange:

I can't be bothered with thumbsnap etc, but a Globemaster from Harstad in Norway, an as yet not operational base in Norway , to Aldergrove.(RCH106). intriguing

Yes that's what I meant, it was just out of range on ADSB exchange when I looked. They just don't show details on FR24 anymore.

With the rise of ADSBexchange I don't know why FR24 bother blocking stuff anymore. On this plus side if I look at FR24 and see something like a 737 or A320 that just shows type I'm straight onto ADSBexchange to see if it's a BBJ or ACJ so FR24 is almost helpful.

Noisy Ukrainian An-26 just flew over my head from Paris CDG heading North…



Edit: he’s just on approach to Prestwick.

I suspect he means you don't get any of the additional data, callsign, departure & destination etc, just what it is, but I've not seen one on there for ages, so may be wrong.

I’m confused too, either way I’m certainly not criticising anyone.

When I look on FR24 gold subscription Antonov Airlines A124’s no longer show any details



When I look on ADSB exchange I can see them obviously
