Um - I have carried out a search and read through a load of posts and I cannot find anything relating to this - but there is no information about which aircraft is flying the VS75/76 MAN-MCO route in the "which aircraft" section? I realise that it is pretty much LGW/MAN 744's with suites - but was just interested as to which aircraft had done what?

Is this a glitch or is there a post out there which explains this?[:I]

Some one bash me with a big stick if I have missed something![:#]

Go to http://www.ringwayreports.co.uk/ and select the link for the current months scheduled movements. That will show you which aircraft is currently on the MAN-MCO-MAN run & give an idea of how often they change. You can cross-reference the aircraft registration to the database on this site to see which IFE system each plane has (although most are Nova).

I believe they swap the aircraft over in MCO for maintenance, as it's done in London - so on a swapover day, the one of the LGW flights aircraft will end up in Manchester the following morning & vice versa for the aircraft that went out of Manchester.

Thanks for that James - I should have said that I already knew about the Ringway web site - I am curious to know why the flight data doesnt appear on the "which aircraft" section on the v-flyer site - its a great deal easier to read and to get a feel for what aircraft is doing what. For example - If I look at the aircraft database it doesnt show V-ROS as having done the flight on 1st May??

I am unsure how V-Flyer & the Ringway website get their aircraft movement data. I can only assume that most of the info is from spotters or anonymous "inside" sources. If a new aircraft appears into MAN from MCO one morning, it's probably a safe bet that it is going to be doing the MAN-MCO-MAN run for a few days - i.e. info that VS would never confirm officially.

When I checked on Ringway Reports the other day it seemed a little bit out of date.
