Chateauroux/Deols (LFLX/CHR) 2018 CIV

Post by Pelican34 »

Seen from the A20 highway on 19/7 and 11/8 were three stored Hainan Airlines A330s. Some searches on the Internet reveal that one likely candidate is F-WWKV/MSN1871. Is there anyone who could confirm this one and the other two serials?

For those interested: on 19 July Swiss CS100 HB-JBE was seen as well, as was An124 UR-82009 on 11 August.

Thanks for the info. When did you log these five aircraft, if I may ask?

Using info from digitalairliners.com I can make out the following:
F-WWER/MSN1896 Hainan Airlines (F-WWCR?) => 29/8 TLS-CHR and 17/10 CHR-TLS
F-WWYX/MSN1886 brown primer (MRTT) => 01/08 noted TLS and 17/10 CHR-TLS
F-WWCH/MSN1875 Hainan Airlines => 07/06 noted TLS and 25/10 CHR-TLS
F-WWKI/MSN1863 Hong Kong Airlines => 01/08 noted TLS
F-WWYM/MSN1866 Lucky Air => 12/07 noted TLS and 19/10 CHR-TLS

The picture I took from the car shows one brown primer A330 with Hainan airlines-style tail (could be Hong Kong Airlines/Lucky Airlines as well), one A330 in Hainan fcs and another one in either Hainan/Lucky/Hong Kong airlines fcs.

A late August a photo on Flickr (too bad I didn't keep the url) showed F-WWKV/MSN1871, the other aircraft are not visible on the picture unfortunately. So, F-WWCH and F-WWYM could be possible candidates for the other two aircraft?

Hi Karl,

It remains difficult to obtain the numbers. I only noted F-WWYI/MSN1874 (Hong Kong Airlines) whilst driving on the highway on 21 August 2019; the other two remain unidentified...
