Monarch Airbus A321 -G-OZBG just departed Leeds on its way to Barcelona at 1500.

Anyone know why G-CELI working EXS25D (LS956 Palma-Manchester) has just come in??

 

[AirBingley]

She was flown in yesterday as relief as the 733 scheduled for LS231/232 had a technical problem. I flew back on her from BCN yesterday. They did a sterling job getting a replacement which arrived only 25 minutes late into BCN and we were only 10 minutes late into LBA.

Ah yes, I've come across the lady in question. It's clearly the only thing she had to do all day. To be honest, I don't think the majority of people would have any problem with equipment such as a DSLR camera so long as they're tucking into one of the Hawthorne Farm's huge cheesecakes or something. I would say video footage such as what you have taken from the roadside is achievable without an extension pole. Was that not a bit of overkill on your behalf? :whiteflag:

True, it wasn't absolutely necessary, but I'm not as steady with the camera as I would like to be, and after dropping it the image stabilisation isn't so good, so I use the pole half extended and hold the bottom of it in one hand and the camera in the other to keep it level and steady. :hatsoff:

 

[Aviador]

Great footage in any case. It's a bird we've not seen enough over Yeadon.

Hi Snowman
Just been up to the 'bomb holes' and there is a nice Dash 8 parked in the Eastern stands. Not sure what it was as no binoculars with me but could potentially be a team flight!! Some decent Biz jets in today too......nice to see!!

RAF Hercules C130J ZH886 has just done a missed approach and go-around along Runway 32 with flight No "RRR271"

 

[White Heather]

scottrhino, the Dash 8 was Flybe G-ECOI which is in Brussels Airlines livery. It has been in before.

 

[lbaspotter]

Heads up guys, As just been informed that there is a big possibility that an RAF Boeing E3D Sentry (AWACS) could appear at LBA around 13:40 this afternoon

 

[scottrhino]

Thanks lbaspotter just gone over the top down 14 at about 3,000ft. Pity the cloud has bubbled up as seems to be doing some circuits

 

[Aviador]

Thank for the info lbaspotter. It just about peeped through the clouds a couple of times.

 

[The Pole]

I saw it do a low approach down 14 at 14.40, an hour after the posted time above, it then headed out toward the East coast.

 

[rhinoscrazy]

Is it just me who thinks there has been a huge influx of military aircraft with the last year using places such as Leeds Bradford as well as just flying around or have i just never noticed them before? its starting to make me think and worry about where we may be heading :whiteflag:

Which direction is that Rhinos?

 

[Bigman]

RAF Yeadon reborn I think is what he is getting at. With recent visits by a Spitfire, Hurricane,Chinook, Tornado, Tucano, Herc, C17, E3 Sentry, Vulcan and god know what else, I can see why!!

 

[lbaspotter]

Another Royal Air Force visitor to RAF Yeadon this morning at 11:00 doing an ILS run was RAF Linton on Ouse based Tucano. ZF293 using callsign "LOP15"

 

[lbaspotter]

Flybe's new SAS Franchise livered ATR72, G-FBXA is due into Leeds at around 16:40 this afternoon for some training.

 

[lbaspotter]

SAS ATR72, G-FBXA just landed runway 14 as BEE56T from Birmingham
