Great catch! I saw one of these excactly a year ago... maybe it's an annual thing?

a BA 767 came into egcc today i saw itpass as i was cleaning the car, do u know anything about that?

[samrammstein13]

No I must have missed it. :( What time was it?

[samrammstein13]

It deinetely unusual as BA only operate their shuttle service from Manchester . They stopped using 767s and 757s last year.

deffinatly a BA 767 with the RR engines 100% posative, between 2pm-4pm, i was washing the car at the time and watched it fly overhead

[samrammstein13]

I left EGCC at 2PM so I probably just missed it. Maybe a divert.

[Dudeboy4000]

i was around at those times and i can tell you, no BA 767 came in. Unless it did and i some how managed to miss it....

[liamr685]

it may have beenn l8r, because was washing the car around 2-4pm and i then cleaned the inside around 6-7, but i deffinatly saw a BA 767 fly over, it had the RR engines and the BA livary, im 100% posative i saw it

[Dudeboy4000]

well it would of come up on TAS but the aeroflot was the only main 767 movement of the day. If there had been the BA 76, then it would of been reported

[samrammstein13]

Apart from Thomson + Delta 767s (+ the usual lot) I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

[Dudeboy4000]

I'd like AA or DL to send in their wingletted 76's. Or at least a UK airline with 767's based at MAN to have them retro fitted :D

[blueb0g]

Maybe you were mistaken... an A321 with the IAE 2500 engines? They look similar to the RB211s.

[liamr685]

Nope, it was deffinatly a wide body and it had the ba livery 100% posative

[liamr685]

sating that i might have seen this bird n got a dodgey look at the engines
