        is it ferry flight doing a stopover at CMB for refuelling?

          no idea, it's a Military Transport​ aircraft as in planespotters.net/
          it's an aircraft that was delivered to USAF in 2013.

              Spotted MH A350-900 (rego 9M-MAE) near Terminal 4 at London Heathrow yesterday. This aircraft was grounded at LHR due to issue in the tail section since 14-Mar-2025. Does any body know in detail what was the issue? eventually the aircraft was ferried back to KUL as MAS1D yesterday afternoon.

                Wamos Air A330-343 (ex-G-VKSS) parked in LHR near VS hangar since 19-Feb-2025. Current registration : EC-OLG. Is this aircraft undergoing maintenance at LHR prior delivery to Wamos Air?

                    rego changed to VT-AFO, but transponder still reports its previous rego.(N671FL)
                    aircraft is an Afcom Cargo B737-86N(BCF)(WL) which is leased from flight lease.
                    so yeah, it's an Indian B738 doing cargo ops MAA-CMB-MLE.
