Taking part in Sunday's last scheduled flight of a @British_Airways @Boeing #767 was fantastic. Huge thanks to 'Hotel Alpha' and the crew who were absolutely wonderful! Delighted that you have enjoyed many years flying with the 'Dear Boeing'! #BAretireB767 #avgeek

@garybrannan Was particularly amused by “Bob’s Full Bogs” 😆

I knew I liked him for a reason

'Helimed 55' of @EHAAT_ lifting away from the field of Hemel Hempstead Town Cricket Club earlier today, with the clubhouse and several spectators in the background. #ehaat #aw169 #helicopter #avgeek

The @LATAMAirlinesUS @Boeing 777-300ER adorned with the bold @starwars #GalaxysEdge livery, complete with Storm Trooper on the tail and helmet around the cockpit! Arriving at @HeathrowAirport on a glorious winter afternoon last week while the moon rises in the east.

@MaxK_J Right. No contest. 🙂

Left? ...or right? #AvGeek

@mbg391 B747, B727(?), GLF2, HS125.

A blast from the past, but can you name these aircraft? Answers on a postcard please… #britishairways #landor #avgeek #aviation

@CallumWilliamT @British_Airways @Airbus @HeathrowAirport I noticed it as well (a few hours later when editing this video!)

VIDEO: Today @British_Airways moved a step closer to restarting regular @Airbus #A380 flights, as G-XLEF performed a 20 minute test flight from and back to @HeathrowAirport. Seen departing from Runway 27R as BA9172. #BA #LHR #Heathrow #Avgeek #Aviation

@Tim_the_Pilot @MaxK_J I see G-YMMG has been at CWL since the 15th. Could it be getting its interior back, with new CW suites too?

@MaxK_J Watch this space... We must still be net 12+ longhaul hulls down, assuming all A380s return and for B773/B7810 & A350 deliveries, so I’m sure they’ll return. 4 in storage plus 2 in cabin cargo config currently. Technical route data suggests GE -200ERs to be used on some RR routes

The youngest B777-200 in the BA fleet, G-YMMU. She must be one of the last still wearing her original unmodified livery (no crest and with off white body - but with a later brilliant white nose cone fitted) and Boeing’s own 777 titles, which are not kept once a hull is repainted.

@MaxK_J @RELXHQ @cirium @BrooklandsMuseu @mbg391 @ConnorDiver @GlobalRanger @swindonweasel Hope you had a fun day today. 🙂

Fun & useful @RELXHQ Cares community day volunteering with @cirium colleagues at @BrooklandsMuseu clearing the banking of horse chestnuts (wasn't "track sweepers" a derogatory term Ron Dennis used to describe F1 pre-qualifiers?) @mbg391 @ConnorDiver @GlobalRanger @swindonweasel

@ninojudge @DarrenTNT @_flyPOP @avolon_aero Interesting to hear Nino. Will both A330's have the seats removed and be used for cargo ops in the coming months?

@DarrenTNT @_flyPOP @avolon_aero not soon as a/c off for seats out cargo duties first

& of course MSN 1445 also at GAMECO cleaned and ready for delivery this week thanks to @avolon_aero @ninojudge

@HertsRoyal @VirginAtlantic @MaxK_J I believe they will take the @NFL teams from @STN_Airport home to the US, @HertsRoyal.

Notice a couple of @VirginAtlantic A350-1000s positioning from LHR to STN this afternoon, any idea what’s going on @AviaColour @MaxK_J

06:49, and a @united Boeing 787-8 from Chicago-O'Hare to @HeathrowAirport passes the setting moon, while the sun begins to rise. Quite fortunate to catch this, as I'd only just got out of bed a couple of minutes beforehand. #avgeek #aviation #moon

@Flying_Abi @aboveandbeyond Had no idea you are part of the Anjuna fam Abi! 😀 Delighted to hear you had a great weekend. 👍🏻

Something I don’t normally spam, but I am a huge nerd with.. Finally had the chance to see ABGT after 10 solid years of loving @aboveandbeyond and I was almost in tears the entire time 🥺 #ABGT450

@HertsRoyal @MaxK_J As G-TTNA was delivered in spring 2018, which wasn’t that long ago, I’d say, it probably wasn’t…

@MaxK_J Was the aircraft due a repaint? If not, surely there is a negative environmental impact to the new paint job 🤔

BA's Blue Bus

@HertsRoyal @HertsNightinga1 @londongliding @CuriosiTEARooms Yes they look amazing! I’m yet to visit but hopefully will soon.

@AviaColour @HertsNightinga1 @londongliding @CuriosiTEARooms Janet had just seen the picture of their cakes and thinks a visit is in order 🍰🧁🥮

Had the last couple of days off work and spent this afternoon with @HertsNightinga1 enjoying a walk up at blustery Dunstable Downs, really blew the cobwebs away and also fun watching the gliders from @londongliding

@HertsRoyal @BAS_News Nice one @HertsRoyal. I saw it from home a few minutes ago too!

British Antarctic Survey #twinotter has been stooging around the skies over Hertfordshire in the past couple of weeks, finally managed a snap from my St Albans garden @AviaColour , not great as some way off, still don't know what it is doing, can you share @BAS_News

@basham_mark @RedactedDutta @VirtualAstro I’ve just seen two objects pass very fast along the same trajectory about four minutes apart. Presumably the upper stage followed by Nauka?

@RedactedDutta @VirtualAstro Think I saw that too :-)

TONIGHT! An incredibly bright Space Station #ISS pass over the UK and possibly some sightings of the Nauka module on its way to the ISS. Follow @Virtualastro for alerts and visit meteorwatch.org/iss-internatio… for ISS times. Due to its changing orbit, Nauka is difficult to predict

@HertsRoyal Yes @HertsRoyal damage to STN’s runway. As a result EI-HGP is the first @Ryanair Max to visit @LDNLutonAirport, and just second visit of the type as Blue Air YR-MXA was first.

Something up at Stansted @AviaColour , notice a Ryanair Max and several other flights diverting to Luton

@FirdausAirways Hi @FirdausAirways! Well @Exec_Traveller state that it is. executivetraveller.com/news/lufthansa…

I like the look of the seat by ZIM Aircraft Seating. But pity at the lack of a separation/barrier between premium economy and economy classes. By any chance, is that the ZIMmagic+ seat, @AviaColour?
