Sectors are two-ended flight records held from 2020 onwards. Movements are one-ended Heathrow and Gatwick airport records — so a year showing movements only is expected, not missing data. Coverage varies by year; a sparse year reflects what was recorded at the time, not the whole of the aircraft's activity.

Heathrow and Gatwick movements reach back to 1955, but every year before 1990 is graded sightings: scattered movements were written down, not the year. A year here means this aircraft was recorded at least once, not how often it flew. What the early records are.
