Dear Abbas,

Is this plane visible on Flightradar24?

I can photograph the departure of this plane provided I know when it will depart and if it happens before sunset!

Dear Abbas,

I think it's not gonna sail before sunset since a dinner in governor house is scheduled for tonight followed by visit to shahi qilla & mosque in late hours. Probably this will fly back tomorrow sometime in evening.

Though I will be transiting tomorrow but I will update you exact time at least 3-4 hours before it's departure today or tomorrow if not in transit.

@Abbas: thank you. I couldn’t even figure out the exact reg no. of the aircraft.

@fahadshakeel. That would be a great help. Thank you. Hopefully I would photograph it.

Thank you Abbas. I checked all the reg no. of this type of RAF aircrafts (from ZZ330 to ZZ339). A very few of them are showing their live status.
