Another from Lagos: Hexcode A07B31 APPEARS to be Bell 412 5N-GEJ. It has just arrived calling "Nigerian 002" which usually is a presidential callsign. "Nigerian 001" is sat on the ground here, the BBJ. The Bell arrived with another Bell shadowing it, namely 5N-ANS a Nigerian Police example.

regards clive.

Further to the last, "Nigerian 002" has just departed but this time it was 5N-FGW, the G550! So it appears the president has swopped from the Bell to the Gulf and now I need to wait and see if the Bell departs....confused? you will be! :)

Hi Clive,

Got the A319 departing just in front of FRN108.  I have it in the d/b with what we know at this time which isn't much!!

A07B31 decodes to N130A and I can see 8 previous users of the registration but one of them is B412 5N-GEJ

It has been suggested to me that the 319 is ex SAA but no reg confirmed.

regards clive.

Chris Witt has just told me the 319 is ex ZS-SFF and he is usually spot on, regards clive.

Alan;
I have just noticed a discrepancy in Airnav's data.5N-BNM is a 125 and 5N-BMN is an S-92 however, they are both in the Db as 5N-BNM. regards clive.

[Runway 31]

Many thanks Clive.  Also amended the S92, thanks again.

Hi Clive,

Nothing on them I am afraid.  My d/b is the same as yours :-))!  Don't get many from Equatorial Guinea.

[superspotter]

Ah but I thought you had access to privileged info! :)
As for Equatorial Guinea, I have only ever been there once...I will ask DHL to start a route there!
