All accounts say that G-OOBK is expected in LGW tommorow dinner time. This is very good news for those travelleing as they get the added bonus.

However the CAA website still says this

G-OOBK

Awaiting Certification

not sure how much that site is updated (daily or weekly)

Follow this thread re the FCA 767's - Crosswind is the guy in the know.

From reading it thru, BK should be in the UK on the 18th.
AN should then be going to AUH for refit and will be there for about a month.
BL was originally due into AUH at the end of JAN for refit - this has been put back till the middle of March. I think the 3 month delay that David2386 refers to is BL going into the hanger - it should still be out of there for the start of the summer.

topjet330 - Gamco based at AUH are one of the largest aircraft overhaul facilities in the world - they service both civil and military aircraft, including the heavy maintainance on the RAF's Tristar fleet.

It wouldn't surprise me if TCX had an aircraft at Gamco on a heavy maintainance check.

Looks like G-OOAN is on its way out for Refurb, so G-OOBK must have operated FCA56 to Sanford from LGW this morning, which would be a nice suprise for the pax.
