Hello,

This is what we noted on Sunday around 15.00
C-40B 05-0932
Gulfstream A40-AB Oman
A-320 A40-AA Oman
B-747 A40-OMN Oman
B-737BBJ A6-MRM UAE
B-747 ???? UAE
Can anybody confirm the 747 is the A6-MMM?
At what time did the Gulf (06-0500) depart and where was it standing?

Hello,

Yesterday evening I departed at 21.10 from Stansted home and was wondering if somebody can help me.
I could recognize a 747 Oman, 747 UAE, C-40 USAF, these are probably the same as we could read on Sunday, but confirmation would be nice.
I thought there were 2 Oman Gulfs near the UAE 747.
Hopefully someone can tell what was on the ground at that moment.

Thanks in advance,
Regards, Rene Sleegers

Not exactly, A4O-AB was parked between BD700 ZS-GJB and Fa900 HZ-DME infront of the 'business terminal'.

Hmm ok thanks. Saw a Gulf facing the runway near the Omani 747 on Saturday morning around 09:00lt while landing. Could this have been the US one or perhaps just a civiel example?

Hi Rene,

Correct, on monday we also noted A4O-AC, so both were there! Also I can confirm everything from sunday was there on monday as well.

Can anyone help me with the UAE 747 on Tuesday. It arrived after 17:00lt and could be seen at Harrods terminal from our Ryanair flt back home. This was not A6-MMM which was on a pan at the south side of the field.

Thanks!

Sjoerd

If you refer to the USAF gulfstream, negative. This one came in late afternoon during the Sunday and was parked in between the BBJ and the Oman 747.

On Saturday UAE747 A6-MMM was seen a pan at the south side of the field near the Diamond Hanger (see also photo forum) this aircraft was seen in front of the Harrods Terminal in the late afternoon during the Sunday. So are you sure you saw two UAE 747 and it was not the same which was already present?
Assume makes an ASS of U and ME.

Yes, 100%. A6-MMM was parked at Harrods on Monday, but seen (and ID'ed) again by us on Tuesday on the pan on the southside. At that time the only the Omani 747 was parked near Harrods.
By the time we taxied out three 747's where visable at Stansted. One UAE on the south pan, the Omani near Harrods and a second UAE 747 parked at the terminal.

Anyone? :roll:

Cheers,
Sjoerd
