747 sp at stansted

[Billywizz74]

Just thought id say I saw a 747sp takeoff today from Stansted. It had a red emblem of some sort on the tail and a red stipe on the fuselage. Never seen one of these before, I assume it was private jet of some sort. If you go round the western service area of Stansted you can sometimes see some interesting types.

Sultan of Oman has one on his fleet, could have been that one?

This one here? VP-BAT lives at Bournemouth, I think, certainly used to - tends to do a 6 monthly check flight; might be what it was doing.
