I hope I’ve put these in the correct section , there were several government aircraft visited re the Olympics and I wasn’t sure if they should be here or in the biz jets as they are not airline operated, apologies if I’m wrong
These were bringing in VIP government officald for the games:

First visit for N851GT, all the atlas flights should now be operated by 747-800s

in a very kind farmer's field about 2 miles from stansted just off the 04 approach line. Several of us were on the corner of the track onto his farm and he was worried about visibility so said we could go into his field if we wanted and I popped the question about parking in it and he said okay (I had left my car about 300 yeards away) - there are some very helpful farmers in Essex!
