I don't recall that we have had an A.318 in LBA before. Can anyone confirm?

I would probably guess not. They aren’t that many around. I think the only two operators other that Titan of that type you might see in the UK are BA or AF. This one is one of the two BA had for their LCY-JFK service. It was cut from two rotations to one last year so this one went to Titan (and I believe is still in the 32 J config) and BA still have the other one G-EUNA.

Not exactly LBA but I saw what I think was a Typhoon flying west over Otley about fifteen minutes ago. I guess just above the LBA CTZ.

No idea, but it must be private charter as his parked over the South side on the Multiflight Ramp.

I just happened to be looking on radar at that time and exactly over Otley at 13000' heading back to Warton was Saudi Air Force Tornado "703"

The Titan is due to depart Newcastle for Luton at 1445

I understand the A318 is for a delegation from AMP ie LBAs owners

The Aussie owners probably want to know where David Laws is spending all there money. Also makes sense with it visiting Newcastle afterwards.

The A318 was indeed a deputation of AMP Investors who have just spent 3 days visiting Leeds (and apparently came away impressed). Today they had a tour of LBA and discussed the proposed terminal development etc. before leaving. As I have also posted elsewhere, they have also signed off a deal with an airline to operate from LBA to a European Hub - but we will now need to wait for an announcement to find out which airline and where to, as they were saying nothing right now. For a little bonus too on the route development side, I suggest you read my post in the Route Development thread.
