Error in Aircraft movements DB

I just noticed that the site is showing that the VS12 last Saturday, the 24th was operated by G-VFAR, an A340. It was actually a 747, G-VROC that flew this flight. I took careful note of the name as we stumbled down the steps into the cold morning at our remote stand.

Just so I can make the appropriate correction, can you confirm this was the VS012 that left Boston on Saturday 24th, or landed at Heathrow on Saturday 24th (ie, left Boston on the 23rd).

(I think I might have spotted a separate error in the display on the 'Which Aircraft' tool which doesn't tally with the aircraft database, which I've now fixed.)

The one that left BOS on the 24th.

Ok, got that. I'm guessing you where looking at the 'Which Aircraft?' page for VS012, where the table at the bottom was the error I fixed (for flights from the US, it was showing the flight date a day out, because it records the flight when it lands, not when it departs) - this was an error that I'd already fixed in the Aircraft Database.

G-VROC did indeed fly from Boston on the 24th.

It's still showing as VFAR here

Ah, I see. Yes, that's suffering from the same arrival-rather-than-departure problem that was effecting Which Aircraft.

I have a solution and will put it on the to-do list [;)]
