V-Flyer

Hi guys, not posted for a while. just a few movements I wonder any one could shed any light on as I'm trying to build a database of unusual movements - Thanks in advance

G-VKSS March 31st Diversion to Tampa, and then to Cardiff on Apri 26th.

G-VRAY May 11th - Various rotations between LHR and NQY & MSE. I am assuming that this is base/circuit training for the 333?

G-VFAR Between May 27th & 29th - Rotation between LHR-BZZ-NBO-LHR. Was this political? Sports maybe?

G-VRED - Diversion to St Petersburg (LED) on April 1st whilst operating VS201.

G-VBLU - Return rotation between LGW & Munich (MUC) on May 18th & 20th? Also political?

G-VLIP - Diversion to TER (this seems to be a diversion hotspot!!) whilst op VS077 on April 9th?

G-VBUG had a rough time on April 19th!! Diverted twice on the same sector (VS200). Diverted to CAN and BNE. Help!

G-VAST Diverted to YYT on May 22nd. This is after is flew LHR-HKG as VS811 on May 19th. Any idea on either fo these??

G-VMEG April 18th LGR-LGW-MCO?? High loadings? Bigger aircraft?

and finally...

G-VXLG on June 3rd mad it to Keflavik (KEF) wilst operating VS086.

If anyone can help with any of the above, I'd really love it. Looks like it's been an exciting few months, now let's see if I can get some answers . Cheers guys

I think the Munich on the 18th to 20th was due to Champions League final may be the Offical Chelsea charter?

G-VBLU - Return rotation between LGW & Munich (MUC) on May 18th & 20th? Also political? as stated, for Chelsea Champions league final

G-VMEG April 18th LHR-LGW-MCO?? High loadings? Bigger aircraft?
Went to help bring pax back from MCO due to emergency landing by SXY a couple of days earlier, there is a thread in the forum about it


G-VLIP - Diversion to TER (this seems to be a diversion hotspot!!) whilst op VS077 on April 9th? Medical Diversion

G-VAST Diverted to YYT on May 22nd. This is after is flew LHR-HKG as VS811 on May 19th. Any idea on either fo these??
YYT was due to a child being taken ill on board - AST never went to HKG, it was due to to start it's refits but because ROM was delayed on her return from refits AST continued on normal operations.

Can help with a couple off the top of my head.

G-VFAR was as a result of a political event in Kenya

VAST didnt actually go to Hong Kong until 26th May for its major refit, as a result of delays, so was still plying her normal routes... Its diversion to YYT was more likely medical on a schedule service between London and the carribean...

Hi, first time postIng on this forum so bear with me!

I was on VRed on 1st April coming back from Sydney/Hong Kong on vs201 and a lady in economy had a heart attack (36 years old- scary) and after an hour and a half we landed in St Petersberg. Call of 'delta foxtrot 3 to cabin doors 3' - Is this the location in the cabin? - came over from captain and very frantic cabin crew running up and down plane and lots of activity at flight deck. I was in 9a in upper.

We were also jettisoning fuel for a while and took a while to land , this didn't fully work and we landed overweight requiring engineering inspection before we could get back in our way. I'm not the best flyer in the world with nerves and this put me on edge somewhat!

We got back underway around 2 hours after landing, and arrived at LHR just before 9am.

God you guys are good!!!

Thanks so much =)
