Anyone know why Thomas Cook Airbus A330 G-VYGM is on the ground at Brize Norton?

Is it not one of the Air Tanker fleet that are leased to Thomas Cook? Probably doing military work..

Yep, either that or for maintenance.

Likewise G-VYGL is on lease to Jet2, does MAN to Canaries runs in the summer then looks to be sub-leased in the winter.

When we were out at the skate park on Sunday afternoon, a G650 came over on approach. I traced it back and found it had come from Los Angeles. To Exeter. So maybe there are some Celebs about?

I was a little excited. But only a bit.

Maybe it's just flagged up incorrectly. Although some have it flagged up as stored, maybe it's become a head of state aircraft now?

Good to hear the AN12s again overhead in the evenings moving between Doncaster and Gothenburg.

There has been a couple of them coming into Liverpool the past two evenings, carrying car parts for JLR I believe.

Interesting scenes on FR at Gatwick today.

Presumably all the available ground vehicles out searching for drones, But never seen ground vehicles show up on FR24 before

Noob to this thread. I just came here to say the same thing.

Odd.

They’ve been on fr24 for a few years, at Gatwick anyway, depending on coverage.

You can see the vehicles bunch up when the drone comes back and follow it around the airfield.

[Jonnny]

Not good!

[Jonnny]

Jesus there's some morons on Twitter..

"Show us proof there is a drone"

Yeah because the airport wants to be shut for 12hrs, fking idiots.

[Jazzy Jag]

Drones is just a cover story.

ET has landed at Gatwick

[Jonnny]

About 8 holding out in the channel to land at LCY?

Is this normal or due to drones?
