The Eastern Airways Embrear 145, G-CISK has i said operated this mornings EZE4700 to Southampton & Rodez as I originally guessed. Don't know whats happened or how the going to get round it but the Northbound EZE4703 Rodez-Southampton-Leeds flight has been canclled. Meanwhile the Embrear 145, G-CISK has operated Rodez to Paris instead.

The Eastern Airways EZE9202 from Venice tomorrow is a scheduled inbound charter flight for Omega Holidays which has been known about for a while. It's planned to be operated by an Embrear 170. It will depart out to Naples as EZE9203 again operating another charter flight for Omega Holidays and will return next week.

I haven't a clue whats happening with the Inghams Holidays Leeds - Salzburg charter. Like you say it not showing Titan Airways but Southend based Jota Airways instead. This work was orginally inteneded for City jet whom sub contracted it to Titan Airway to operate it on there behalf using 737-300. I wonder if Jota Airways are cheaper option. Like you say "WhiteHeather" they operate the following Wisper Jets.

1x BAe 146-200 = G-SMLA, (Works for BAe Systems)
1x Avro RJ85 = G-JOTR, (Leased Flybe/Stobart Air)
1x Avro RJ100 = G-JOTS, (Leased to Flybe/Stobart Air)

Just to clarify G-GFDA was re-registered G-ZAZU in 2013 and is the DA-42 operated by NAL Jets

There are a couple of Jota Aviation & EasyJet charters being planned for this summer. Heard it's part of Inghams? Not sure how true this is mind

EZE are Eastern not Easyjet

In that case, it is a BAe 146 200 - not an RJ. Hard to tell the difference I know! It would seem that this aircraft has been passed around like a parcel at a children's party having had 10 operators - some of which have flown it for 5 or 6 separate periods of time. It has just crossed the coast at Mablethorpe, Lincs.

Anyone Id the RAF Chinnok that passed overhead LBA at around 18:50 this evening? I saw it whilst I was out jogging near Rodley.

I'm going to be spending a couple of days up in Leeds with my sister this week. She lives in Rawdon which isn't far from LBA. Can anyone suggest a good spotting place with a dog in tow coming up from that direction? Thanks.

Assuming you are not worried about access to a cafe Jerry, the best place is outside the cemetary at the top of Cemetary Road, up past Yeadon Tarn. From Rawdon, go up Harrogate Road to the top of the hill (traffic lights, with Murgatroyds Fish & Chip Restaurant on the left). Turn left there, and go down that road to the bottom, where you will come to a roundabout. Immediately before that, turn right on to Cemetary Road (pub on the corner, which I think is the Albert). Go up Cemetary Road, past Yeadon Tarn (on right) and you will come to the cemetary on the left. Just past there, the old road goes up to the left - (the new road continues to the right, and goes around the end of the runway). Just go up the old road to the left and you have a full view of the runway, plus a good view of the runway 14 approach if the planes happen to be landing that way. Either way it is a good viewing spot. If runway 14 is in use you are also directly opposite the turning loop (approx 100 metres), and if its 32, all departures take off overhead. Hope that helps

Jerry - this photo was taken from the place described above - the Jet2 737 800 is on the loop turning ready for a Runway 14 departure - just to give you an indication as to how close you are.View attachment 5544

Oh here goes yet even more changes to Inghams Holidays summer 2017 weekly Saturday charter flights to Austria. These flights were originally contracted out to be operated by Cityjet, So far we have seen flights moved to Salzburg been operated by Titan Airways Boeing 737-300's and Jota Aviation, BAe 146's.
Well I've just looked on the Inghams Holidays website and it would seem as of this weekend flights revert to operating into Innsbruck once again. And it would seem that all flights will now scheduled to be operated by Fokker 100 aircraft of either Trade Air or Carpatair Air as follows.

July 8th = Trade Air
TDR100 = LBA: 07:45 - INN: 10:55 / TDR103 = INN: 18:10 - LBA: 19:20
July 15th = Trade Air
TDR100 = LBA: 07:45 - INN: 10:55 / TDR103 = INN: 18:10 - LBA: 19:20
July 22nd = Trade Air
TDR100 = LBA: 07:45 - INN: 10:55 / TDR103 = INN: 18:10 - LBA: 19:20
July 29th = Trade Air
TDR100 = LBA: 07:45 - INN: 10:55 / TDR103 = INN: 18:10 - LBA: 19:20
August 5th = Carpatair
KRP3000 = LBA: 07:10 - INN: 10:20 / KRP3003 = INN: 17:35 - LBA: 18:45
August 12th = Carpatair
KRP3000 = LBA: 07:10 - INN: 10:20 / KRP3003 = INN: 17:35 - LBA: 18:45
August 19th = Trade Air
TDR100 = LBA: 07:45 - INN: 10:55 / TDR103 = INN: 18:10 - LBA: 19:20
August 26th = Trade Air
TDR100 = LBA: 07:45 - INN: 10:55 / TDR103 = INN: 18:10 - LBA: 19:20
September 2nd = Trade Air
TDR100 = LBA: 07:45 - INN: 10:55 / TDR103 = INN: 18:10 - LBA: 19:20
September 9th = Carpatair
KRP3000 = LBA: 07:10 - INN: 10:20 / KRP3003 = INN: 17:35 - LBA: 18:45
September 16th = Carpatair
KRP3000 = LBA: 07:10 - INN: 10:20 / KRP3003 = INN: 17:35 - LBA: 18:45

How many times can a charter route change in 1 season? Its beyond belief. lol
