Can’t find flight on FlightRadar24

[pidsy]

Mrs P has just taken off on an aurora flight with Tim Peake as guest speaker. I can’t find any record of their flight on FR24.

I wondered how far north and where they were circling.

It’s flight no: BA8619c.

FR24 said:

There may be several reasons why a flight cannot be found. Either it has not taken off yet or has already landed. Also, not all aircraft are equipped with the correct transponder to be tracked by Flightradar24, or the flight could be flying outside our coverage area.

That's what she told you she was going to do...

Well she sent me a pic of her with Tim. So if she is off shagging him - I’d shake his hand.

He’s a legend.


Maybe it’s not logging because it’s a charter. The quoted explanation above looks that way.

It seems to be on the ground at Gatwick.

Got it.
Cheers. Really hoping that they see some lights tonight. Jon Culshaw is the host tonight.

I can just imagine him doing his awful Blair/Bush impressions for hours if there’s nothing interesting to see!
