    Hi
    Today a friend of mine took VY 8992 , BCN-BRU

    I thought it would be the standard A320 that vueling use, however
    I was speaking to him on the phone and he insists it was a B767, not with the Vueling livery so seems a rent job.

    Now I had problems tracking the flight in FR24, yet any searches I do on this flight still returns an A320...

    I'd imagine he is correct, Flightradar didn't pick up the flight today but has a departed time listed (12:09).
    Keep in mind you may just be reading the A320 from yesterday.

    So because FR expects a certain reg plane type etc, can it mess up when its different from usual ?

    Even Google was returning correct data when I googled the flight number - correct info as in TOD, TOA - not plane reg/type etc..

    No. Far more likely was that if it was a rented 767, it was sodding ancient and didn't have ADS-B.

    Disagree, when a different aircraft is used the callsigns etc can get messed up.

    Edit: As arubex has shown below, that's what happened.

    They've had B763 I-NDDL in on lease from Neos. Might have been that one with the callsign not set.

    Edit: that's your culprit. Flew with a Neos callsign

    Could be right, I found an article about the 767 http://italiavola.com/2015/07/12/blue-panorama-continua-a-volare-con-un-b767-per-vueling/

    Via some more searches (and confirmed with my mate it was Neos)

    Is that all? Younger than BA's 767s!

    They could probably flog it to Delta, they love cheap mid-life airliners.

    Indeed, while the pax were told to board a Vueling flight number the operating crew would be using their own AOC, thus using their own callsign and flight code.

    So then it should have showed up on fr24 but as an A320?
    It didn't ...
