The airport received a big lightning strike during the thunder storm late yesterday afternooon.
As a result departures are being advised the Runway 14 is "technically" not available. I know they were using 32 with a tailwind last night as the PAPIs were unservicable.
Some of the CAT3 stop bars are not working as are the centerline lights on November taxiway.
This could have implications for CAT3 operations until the problems are solved.

That explains why yesterday, as soon as the storm passed, flights started landing in 32, having used 14 all day?

The video features Glen Appleyard, the Senior Air Traffic Engineer who is sadly 'no longer with us'.

I loved the Park Air radios and multiple Pye rack cabinets. I expect the newer Frequentis and Northrop Grumman Park Air comms gear fits in a single 19" rack.

David Thompson, was he the son of a certain Adrian Thompson by any chance?

If so, it might explain why he got the guided tour of LBA on theses video's.

LS271 recently departed. Can anyone explain its unusual departure turn shortly after takeoff followed by what looked like a return to the standard routing shortly afterwards?

Looked like a normal departure to me?

 

[Aviador]

Approximately 1 mile it turned left then deviated back right before continuing what then seemed a normal departure track. I was actually watching it and I only checked FR24 after watching it carry out an unusual manoeuvre. FR24 did show this when I looked.

It did, but the flight before by Jet2.appeared to do the same.

Presumably if it was off the normal SID then there would have been an instruction from ATC. Anybody listening at the time?

Weather seems unlikely unless it's very different oop north than in the South Midlands. Other local(ish) traffic, track miles for sequencing with (eg) MAN arrivals or departures? Fairly sure I've heard ATC at Leeds and elsewhere tell a/c that they'll be given a non standard routing due to X.
