Just now (2.25pm) I swear I saw a Boeing 727 fly over LBA at about FL60. It was heading in a SSE direction. Can anyone in the know verify please ? Ta.

Boeing G-OSRB is just on finals at Doncaster(1435) and looking at its routing it was from Teesside and flew directly over LBA

For info Multiflight's new Dauphin G-MFLT(Yorkair 3T) is currently flying locally, crew training

Thankyou twev. I thought it looked like one of theirs. Nice to see a 727 again after so many years.

Looks like the LBA based Monarch Airlines aircraft might be tech seen as Airbus A320, G-ZBAT has just positioned in from MAN with callsign MON502.

 

[a300boy]

G-ZBAR the Leeds based unit has just positioned from Leeds to Birmingham and both Stobart and Flybe made it in on runway 32 Cat 2 following the BA which did a Cat 3. A good day so far lets hope we do not loose anything.

 

[lbaspotter]

See Aurigny used ATR72 G-COBO on today's Guernsey service instead of the usual smaller ATR42.

Loganair are using Viking DH-6-400 Twin Otter, G-SGTS on this evenings Glasgow service.

 

[oldendays]

A Learjet at Multiflight this morning. M-DMBP.

 

[LBAYORKIE]

Don't think I have ever seen a twin otter at LBA, suppose Loganair must have used one before now. Can anyone remember any other instances?

 

[a300boy]

Yes Dan-Air used them on some domestic routes in the 1980s.
They were in Dan-Air colours but owned by I think Metropolitan Airlines.

 

[oldendays]

I remember the Metropolitan shed (Short 330) at Leeds in 1984-85 but I don't know if the Twotters passed through. I certainly remember seeing them at Manchester.
