Not quite GLA related but I gather BA have just announced the complete retirement of the 747 fleet.

The two A321s at Bournemouth did engine runs yesterday (G-EUXE) & today (G-EUXD) so probably the two coming north in the next couple of days

I understand its unlikely GLA will park up all 18 on the airfield - 16 + 2 at the hangar is a possibility

Checking them out this evening, 13 x 321 on Yankee (1st row - nearest fence : XC/XF/XK/DU/DG/DF, 2nd row - DL/XM/XG/DM/XL/XH/DJ), 'XJ on stand 40, A320 UF stand 21, OE stand 64, 2 unidentified at hangar, A319 CE stand 65.

Checking against FR24 & BA Source for SCAN we should still have A320s G-EUUZ, G-EUYN/YY & G-TTND

According to a post on Flyertalk, A319 DBCE should be headed back to LHR today.

A320 YN has been pinging on FR24 the past 2 days in the hanger, so it may be near to coming out after maintenance.

If the timings are similar to the other A320 Neo first hanger visits, then TTND should also be close to coming out the hanger.

A321 G-EUXE is airborne out of BOH for GLA.

And well telegraphed on EGPF Forum, G-EUXD is now en route to GLA from BOH

Some clever parking going on. EUXJ is now on stand 39, well forward, with 'XD behind on 38 and 'XE on 40. DBCE departed down to Heathrow approx.1800.

Two Netjets "Big Biz" on Juliet, Gulftream G4 N405QS on the Royal Pan for a night stop, with Global 5000 CS-GLY having a "gas'n'go" 1830-1930 approx.

FR24 showed an N279CS inbound to GLA as a 733 from Rekjavik with an elapsed flight time of 5hrs.

However it was some variant of single engined high wing Cessna that passed by on final approach.

It's probably a miscoded hex code. If anyone has further info please post.
