Archive Spotting Movements Log & Heads Up

[imagineif]

What actually happened was the Dalaman was delayed going as it had a lightning strike on its previous sector from Corfu, it had to have a look over from Thomson engineers before it was released for service. It finally went to Dalaman 3 hours 50 minutes+ late... then due to very bad storms affecting Turkey - it diverted to Paphos of all places. The crew took rest and the flight continued the next day - Paphos to Dalaman then Dalaman to Leeds. Due to the severe delay of our based unit - a relief aircraft was sent from Cardiff to operate the Leeds program.

I'm 99% sure it was ZH001 which is a BN2T Defender based in Aldergrove.

Nice visitors at Multiflight this morning as noted by myself, (02)-1863 = US Army Gulfstream C-37, PH-RLG Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign and last but not least G-SIRO, Dassault Falcon 900EX

Plus the Jet2 Static fleet is parked up along with 2x Ryanair's and the based Monarch.

Jet2's latest Boeing 737-800WL G-GDFU may have gone tech or has some sort of problem down route in Alicante after operating this morning outbound LS271 service. In fact it was her first revenue service for Jet2!
In the meantime it looks like Leeds/Bradford based Boeing 737-300, G-CELD has been positioned out empty as LS041A to bring half off the stranded LS272 pax back home while Alicante based Boeing 737-300, G-CELJ will bring the rest. Guessing some engineers have been sent down as well.

Dose anyone know why Loganair Saab 340, G-LGNM positioned out empty and then flew at 12,000ft all the way over to Donegal as LOG843F instead of operating the return BE6985/LOG12DC service back to Glasgow this evening?
