In anticipation of the item, I've been monitoring its journey from the land of the scones and tea to the haven of teh tarik and all varieties of nasi. Luckily the courier DHL has a dedicated webpage to feed its customers with the track of their items, which is good since they charged me £15 in the first place!
I also found a way to have fun with this tracking page. A knowledge and familiarity in aviation do help sometimes tho it might be of unuseful stuff, ha ha. I tracked the package from Liverpool, UK to Nottingham East Midlands airport (EMA) where it was boarded on a flight to the Leipzig airport (LEJ), Germany. Then it was transferred to another freighter bound to Hong Kong (HKG). With the wisdom of me myself as a trainee aircraft engineer I may divulge the types of aircraft used and their reg numbers. The EMA-LEJ leg was done with a B77F (D-AALE) belonging to Aerologic and the LEJ-HKG route was plied on another B77F (N774SA) owned by Southern Air operating on behalf of DHL. Let's play a guess game, which aircraft will my package travel on soon before reaching my doorstep?
I think it's a B727F operated by Transmile Air Services on behalf of DHL, flight no TH 3508 from HKG arriving at Subang (SZB) at 0720 hours. I can pick up my package on my own at the airport then!
