Morning,
Am looking at the Thomson B767-300ER fleet.
I know that G-OOAN is a ex FCA V1 and I have the reg's for the v2 aircraft from the what aircraft guide.
Can you let me have the reg's for the ex Thomsonfly and the shorthall aircraft please?
Many Tahnks
Ok thank you for the replies.

I beleive they are currently;
G-OBYD: 31Y+ / 252Y (long haul)
G-OBYF: 328Y (short haul)
G-OBYG (Dreamliner scheme): 31Y+ / 252Y (long haul)
G-OBYH: 328Y (short haul)
Darren
Thanks Darren
Deals1982,
Don't get too fixed on the regs/configs unlike the the ex-Fca that always have to be in the same config, the Tfly birds can (and do) change often, one if not both YD & YG will be changing next week to short haul, they can be changed in 24hours.

Thanks everyone. I also assume its the right and left sides as you look at the seating plans. Eg ab are left and so on.
deana,
Seats are always coded looking towards the front of the aircraft and from left to right, ie A/B are on the left.

Is there any reason why tom2142 isn't on flightradar24? Or on data.flight24.com?
lighty89,
Data for flight radar is reliant upon receiving feeds from ADS-B receiver stations. If there isn't one active to feed the information to the website for that flight, it won't show.

Hi Darren yesterday i tracked Tom5ay (Tom 2700) Manchester to Larnaca I belive it was G-0BYF how is it that all the way this flight never showed Departure Airport or Destination but the Glasgow Thomson Airways flight Tom12T did.
qatarman,
What where you tracking it on? Assuming it was on a site such as Flight Radar, not all the relevant information is shown and indeed many flights don't show at all as it depends on the information received. I have an ADS-B receiver that shows probaby 30-40% more flights than are ever on websites simply because I get the information direct for my area. They can only show the information received, they aren't perfect by any means.

Using flightradar24.com I've noticed that the Thomson info is often all to c*ck anyway -eg 737s flying to Cuba and plane routes showing incorrectly like this morning's Newcastle to Corfu flight which seems to be showing as Larnaca to Manchester!!!
Hi Darren
We're on the TOM196 MAN/CUN this Wednesday, May 30th.
A friend "in the know" reckons we will be on G-OOBK, which he is teasing us has a chequered history.
What is he meaning, or is it just a wind-up?
We've got 3 F/G out to avoid the sunniest side and 2 A/B on our return.
Thanks in advance.

I believe that aircraft has had a couple of "hard landings" - most recently one at Bristol which took it out of service for a while.

However it was repaired and would not be flying if it were not completely safe.

Hi Darren,
Yes it was Flight Radar thanks for the info i had noted alot of flights show nothing.
Thanks for your answer.

PrimaVista,
Welcome onboard
There are no guarantees G-OOBK will be operating your flight on Wednesday as things can change between now and then. I should know tomorrow. As ukbill mentioned, that particular aircraft has had a couple of hard landing over the years resulting in damage to the airframe towards the front. The aircraft was extensively repaired both times and is 100% airworthy, it wouldn't have a certificate or airworthyness from the CAA and be allowed to fly otherwise. I've travelled on this aircraft since it's last hard landing, and on several other aircraft that have had similar incidents. It's nothing to worry about. There's plenty of photos of the aircraft here and extensive aircraft inforamtion on our What Aircraft? guide (link below).

Hi Darren, BY-TOM-AMM-FCA, etal
Flying TOM054/5 on the 10 June which I believe is a an ex FC plane.
For the first time we have decided to travel to/from the airport by rail, this leaves us with a dilemma about the booking time of the return leg. Is there any data showing time performance for this route? Barring unforeseen events is there any historical data regarding flights that are regularly delayed/late.
Also any info on the incoming flight prior to TOM054.
Many thanks

gc,
TOM054/5 are indeed ex-FCA. The only information you can go off for your return flight is the scheduled arrival time. The majority of flights run to schedule, it's only a small percentage that don't. What will be will be on the day. Leave sufficient time between your scheduled arrival and the train, don't be tempted to leave a minimum amount of time. Allow an hour or two for a slight delay. Other than that, it's a 'how long is a piece of string' type question. The inbound aircraft should be TOM047 from Sanford.

Nice one Darren,
As I thought but nice to be reassured, now to decide, book exact trains or pay extra for more flexibility and peace of mind.
All the best

gc - also bear in mind that the flight might arrive on time - but at that time of the morning there are quite a few flights arriving - this can lead to queues at Immigration and significant hold ups on the baggage pick up.... so make sure you leave a couple of hours after scheduled landing time, as Dazbo says, if you book a specific train.
