Inbound to clear customs for flight to Belfast/City !! Seems to be something to do with new regulations following Brexit.

Too busy flying Boris around!

 

[Seasider]

There has been plenty of RAF activity over East Yorkshire. Today has been the quietest of the week, mind you it is POETS day.

It must do because there’s only been a couplet of flights!

No it is just that, like all good POETS, that they value their weekends.

 

[Seasider]

They prefer to Relax After Friday.

Just watched a Jota BAE-146 land at Doncaster from Gatwick.
I suspect that might be Crystal Palace football team who didn’t want to pay for an hours extension at Lba.
It might be to pick up Chelsea but they arrived at Doncaster in a B737 from Stansted yesterday so I would have thought they would go back south the same way.

It used the call sign ENZ261P so would assume it was a positioning flight.

As the game isn't until tomorrow night , Palace might fly to Leeds tomorrow and save the cost of an overnight stay. More likely to be taking Chelsea home. I think they used Jota when flying back after their game in Leeds earlier in the season.
You could be right but why have a positioning flight number if carrying pax, and why wait until after LBA has shut when a few hours earlier they could have landed ok?

Jota ENZ251 just departing to Gatwick with Chelsea on board from DSA.
Hopefully, the Crystal Palace team bus will come to LBA tomorrow.
