A recent Cardiff summary

Post by welshdan1927 » Wed Jun 06, 2018 1:34 pm

Afternoon all,

Just a couple of recent movements at the local to sum up the last few months;

Firstly this biz that came in from Lagos for the Anthony Joshua fight at the end of March

This 737-4 has been undergoing work with Cardiff Aviation at St Athan to prepare for new owners International Spray Solutions. Formerly N120WF, seen here departing on an airtest performed low - 650ft low - over the Bristol Channel.

The Radio One big weekend down in Swansea saw some biz in recently - I missed G-ULFM taking Ed Sheeran back up to Manchester but this had his support act onboard

And this old beauty brought in Taylor Swift and her entourage

As for the schedules, we now have a Qatar Airways service bringing in plenty of tick-able Dreamliners. I missed the inaugural service on the A350 (flown by a Welsh pilot) because I was in Cyprus. Imagine my devastation... not.

Vueling have been treating us lately;

And there was the one I've been anticipating for a while now, the absolutely gorgeous A330-9 Neo, performing the now familiar hot fuel tests and other trials on a two-day visit. In cloud.
