Olympic Flame Heading To UK

The Olympic Flame is making its way to the UK on board 'Firefly' a specially painted British Airways Airbus A319 (G-EUPC) after departing Athens at 15:24 BST on 18 May 2012. She is using callsign 'BA 2012'.

Firefly is expected to touchdown at RNAS Culdrose, Cornwall, UK at around 19:30 BST.

From there, the Olympic torch will travel 8,000 miles as it passes through 1,019 villages, towns and cities before arriving at the Olympic Stadium on 27 July.

    No. She was only picking the flame up from Athens. The torch will then tour the UK only.
