NPAS currently have 2x Vulcan Air P.68R's based at LBA. G-POLV & G-POLW

P-68R G-POLZ(Police 152) inbound from Bournemouth, vectors for ILS runway 32, 1645
G-POLW(Police 154) departed to Bournemouth this morning while I was at the cafe. This is the first visit of 'LZ to LBA and this will now be resident alongside G-POLV until the next swap around takes place.

2 aircraft are based at LBA at any one time, while the other two are at Bournemouth/"on maintenanace".
The aircraft are regularly swapped around to keep the number of flying hours roughly the same on all 4 aircraft.

Enter Air Boeing 737-800, SP-ENO is due to position in at 09:55 from Bournemouth as "ENT3036" to operate a charter to Enontekio.

A Smart Air flight is now scheduled to arrive at LBA at 1744 tomorrow from Turin. It's almost certainly linked to Leeds United's latest acquisition, Weston McKennie, who is moving from Juventus.

Can't remember a TAP diversion before. I wonder of we are going to see any more diversions.

Can't remember many TAP aircraft here since the mid 80s when their 737s did a Sunday charter for Thomson (I think).

Let's hope the ground handling is up to standard.

Random question - apologies but have Aer Lingus Regional changed their callsign to 'Greenstone' as EAG79PW has just departed using that name.

Maybe that's the call sign for Emerald UK?

I see, aircraft is G-CMJN so that would make sense. Many thanks!
