Hi all,
Apologies if this is a repeat thread; couldn't dig up anything via search though.
Driving past Filton (FZO) on the way to Cribbs Causeway for the dreaded Christmas shopping, I noticed 3 Transaero 747s (1 744) parked. I could have sworn that the 744 was ex-BA; blue RRs etc. Can anyone confirm the status of these birds?

Quoting QF744ER (Reply 1): They are the ex SAA RR powered B744 heading to Transaero
- This is news, must have been asleep when this was announced. Transaero are building quite a fleet of 747's, where on earth are they going to fly all these birds?

Quoting QF744ER (Reply 4): Seems a waste flying a B744 around Europe.
They are mainly using the 747s on holiday flights. There are huge numbers of Russians flying to Southwestern European holiday destinations and Turkey. So much so that in many places Russian is the no.3 of foreigners language after English and German.

I believe Transaero has filed to fly to the U.S., JFK, MIA, IAD and or LAX from their application. Surely
some of the big birds will be coming across the pond if/when they start these flights.
