Azerbaijan Airlines Airbus A340-542 4K-AZ86 on approach to London Gatwick Airport (LGW/EGKK) runway 26L on 30th May 2019. This was possibly a football supporters' charter from Baku after the Europa League final (Chelsea v. Arsenal) on the previous…

Hello all,

I have encountered a rather strange problem on 'Pinkfroot' and I wonder if anyone can assist me. I recently uploaded 4 photos, by way of example one of which was N301DV. All 4 came back with the message that they were 'successfully uploaded'. The problem is as follows:

On the 'Pinkfroot' website under 'My Page', the photos can be seen under 'Activity' and under 'Photos'. To all intents and purposes, I assume that this means that they were successfully uploaded and approved. There is nothing to indicate otherwise.
If I search for any of the registrations on the main 'Pinkfroot' search, nothing is retrieved. In the past, even photos awaiting approval could be successfully retrieved immediately after a successful upload.
HOWEVER, importantly, yesterday evening I searched in 'PlaneFinder'. N301DV was being tracked at the time and my photo WAS featured. There was no indication that it was 'awaiting approval'. Usually, photos 'awaiting approval' do not seem to be featured on 'PlaneFinder'.

It seems that, on Pinkfroot, my photos are not connecting to the library and therefore cannot be retrieved in a general search. However, my photos are connecting to 'PlaneFinder'. Does anyone have any ideas?

Can you please update the info on this airplane...it is N395FR but showing up as N385FR in Plane Finder...probably due to an incorrect tag or the fact N385FR is in your comment on the airplane. Thanks.
