Anyone know when the last 747 landed at Aldergrove (other than Airforce 1)? I remember back in the 80s talking to the British Midlands ground crew and they told me that Jumbos would have visited a few times during the Summer months.

Yes,that`s correct-A Cathay Pacific Cargo B747 was in duringing June I think.
Prior to that was a Kallita Air Cargo version in May 2007.
