Would’ve loved to join, but the timing doesn’t work. Wanted to pipe in that the FP says WGLL and not EGLL. Cheers!

I don’t think the main runway at NZQN is long enough for a 787 - but then again that’s never stopped me trying such things!! Good luck.

Thanks, I’ll double check, it was a last minute thing to make this an event as others showed interest.

Yeah the runway is pretty short, but with an almost empty plane it will be fine
