  • Having heard that BA are to be wet leasing the Airbus A330-941 Neo from Air Belgium during July to November, I thought it would be good to look again at their wet leased A340-300s, OO-ABA and OO-ABB; which operated some of their Middle Eastern routes during 2018.
    Here is footage of these aircraft, together with some reminders of our other Heathrow A340 visitors during that time, including:
    Qatar Amiri A340-200 A7-HHK
    Swiss A340-300 HB-JMI filmed in 2020 when Heathrow was on single runway operations because of COVID travel restrictions
    Virgin A340-600 G-VRED - now flying as G-ECLC for European Cargo
    Air Mauritius A340-300 3B-NBJ seen departing Heathrow in 2018- now wfu.
    Iberia A340-600 EC-LFS - the last A340 built. Seen departing in September 2019 on one of the days of the BA Pilot strike. Now wfu.
    Hope you enjoy these memories - as we look forward to seeing Air Belgium's livery again at Heathrow during this summer. Cheers, Steve

      @PLANE MANIA thanks a lot! I thought I had neglected my Heathrow CZcams channel a bit lately as I’ve been concentrating on my new “Farnborough Aviation” channel which we’ve chatted and commented about already. Thanks again for watching. Best wishes Steve

      @SteveAndAlexBuild Yes I agree. They were very iconic. BTW I have set up a new CZcams channel called “Farnborough Aviation” if you fancy looking at some biz jets and regional jets? 🤔 youtube.com/@FarnboroughAviation-nb2or
