Hello calling South Yorkshire - Barnsley Holidays

The Stobart ATR-72 this lunchtime is EI-GPN which turns out to be ex G-FBXC and was only acquired in mid-January this year
Is this a first visit or did it appear while I was on my European travels?

Weird weather, as here in Cookridge, just 2 miles away, it is clear blue sky. I imagine it is fog climbing out of the Wharfe Valley and sinking down over the airport, not helped by the tarn next to the runway which sometimes seems to develop its own fog bank.
