B772 OE-LPF AUA66
Passed over NI 05:00 to 05:33 eastbound at FL340

C/n 28692 an airframe with a curious history, entered service 2001 with Varig but was seized by the lessor ILFC at LFPG in 2003 due to debts. Re-entered service in 2003 but was parked in 2005 for same reason and had a brief reprieve until 2006 Varig went bust.

Subsequently sat in storage for long periods other than two years with Aeromexico. Entered service with Austrian Airlines in April 2017. Wears a commemerative '60 Years' livery.

Noted recently several green-airframe G280s on delivery westbound. It appears that IAI-Gulfstream are now using EGSS Stansted as the staging airport instead of EGAA, which makes sense as there is a Gulfstream facility at EGSS.
