Interesting Movements 2020

Well the friend who contacted me is intending to drive up from Bolton to see the Antonov, so if that's how far people are willing to trave to see it, then yes, crowds could well be a problem on the day.

Your friend absolutely cannot drive up from Bolton to Scotland this weekend. Lockdown measures there are in force and the Scottish Government are right now announcing no non essential travel to or from the lockdown areas around Greater Manchester and parts of West Yorkshire. Fuller details online but Bolton is very much in the epicentre.

Please contact him or her right now and tell them not to come.

Yes I read that too and have already told him not to travel to Prestwick.

Air India from Mumbai showing on arrivals tomorrow at 19:15

[Paris]

There is a Notam out indicating RFFS Cat9 on Monday 3 August and Tuesday 4 August between 17:30 and 19:15 instead of the present norm. of Cat7.
As Cat9 is usual for the Emirates when they operate, suggests wide body movements.

What does all this mean to the ordinary bloke. Notam, RFFS, Cat 9, Cat 7 ..... ffs ?

NOTAM = Notice to Airmen (maybe it should be NOTAP now)
RFFS = Rescue and Fire Fighting Services (the CAT refers to number of appliances, firecrew etc required based on the size of an aircraft)

Thanks

Do we know what the Air India flight type is and also why it's happening ?

Seems to have disappeared from arrivals, so wonder if they were just testing the boards.
