Three more off Lands End
BAW2154 = G-VIIB (B777)
BAW2036 = G-VIIR (B777)
BAW282 = G-BNLY )B747)
plus BAW122 = G-YMML approaching over Reims as mentioned by Garry
I agree with Ben that FlightRadar is faster but RadarVirtuel seems to have more feeds tonight so the coverage is better. Just have to watch both.
So which ones have enough reserves to get to EGLL?

I bet the passengers are fit to be tied after flying from Vancouver. Probably a lot of muttering "wtf".

Yes Ben is right FlightRadar24 is faster but RadarVirtuel has the ash track and aslo lists the last communication time of the flight.

I've been outside watching the aircraft approach Heathrow. Normally, I just ignore them, but it's good to have them back.

Aiming for Llanbedr?

That would really hack off the Snowdonia Society who have stalled the commercial re-opening of the airfield.
