I saw that reported on social media but I don’t see anything on any of the usual systems showing a flight to Kemble today. Has this been confirmed please? Cheers
Nevermind, now showing 16:15 local time arrival at Kemble for G-CIVO
After all that, didn't turn up today. I'm told there was a technical issue with the aircraft.
Showing G-CIVO ETA 13:30 at Kemble today

G-CIVO landed at 13:44pm. I’ve heard that G-BYGA has been sold to Atlas Air so May not be at Kemble forever! :)

This would be great! I thought this one was one of the 3 bought by Atlas Air though? Maybe that's changed or it's coming to Kemble for temp storage? Either way would be great to see at Kemble.

Another BA 747 (G-BYGE) due at Kemble on Tuesday next week. Has been delayed a few times, was originally due earlier this week.

Any update on G-BYGE?

Due tomorrow 13:30 local time. But since this is now about the 5th time it has been delayed I’m not holding my breath. Also the weather looks pretty pants.

Any update on G-VROM? I thought it was due out of LHR today at 14:00 but seems to be going to the US not Kemble?

Believed to be due to the US tomorrow or Thursday as was cancelled on Monday so doubt it will go to Kemble

As said above (many thanks to nitro for the updates too :thumbs: ) G-BYGE arrived in today, which means (according to my ‘great’ maths skills) there are 8 now at Kemble.

I’m hearing news that Negus liveried BA 747 G-CIVB and 747 G-CIVY are planned to be both due in from Heathrow on the 8th or 9th October. They will perform a simultaneous takeoff at LHR on both of its runways too.

Both due out of Heathrow tomorrow at 8:15l. G-CIVB in Negus livery will be preserved at Kemble.

So is G-CIVB being preserved long term? (Hopefully) and is G-CIVY still due as well or is it now going somewhere else.

Edit: I have answered my own questions. Both are still due in tomorrow and G-CIVB will be preserved long term (Great news :clap: )
