Archive Spotting Movements Log & Heads Up

[Aviador]

Not sure whether this has been mentioned or not but tomorrow is the last full working day for Germania before it returns to Germany on Tuesday.

No I don't think it has, so thanks for mentioning it Aviador!

I was lucky enough to see both D-AGET when I departed and arrived through LBA early last month, and also managed to spot D-AGEQ yesterday evening, as it turned extremely early over Baildon on departure to Prague I believe on LS duties!

The 700series seems to be a lot quieter, but yet creates a much more deeper groan compared to the usual 300's, which I think was a pleasure to listen to for a change... A lot quieter as well compared to the Ryanair aircraft that departed just before...! Cheap and cheerful maintenance there I think though...

Flybe sent Embrear 175, G-FBJD on this afternoon's BEE173/1HT Southampton service.

You would be surprised at how many vehicles already come in and out of the Multiflight entrance each day. An extra hundred or so vehicles each day using the entrance to go to a dedicated viewing area would be an insignificant increase.

It look ed like the B737-300 of Jet 2 with the winglets arrived this morning around 0745 after the Ryanair Dublin flighthad landed.The sun was just rising behind si it was impossible to be certain but if it was the aircraft in question it has been parked on the remote stands at the end of the old runway 28.

a300boy I can confirm that Jet2's B733WL landed earlier at Leeds this morning after a short flight from Blackpool.

As I type it's just taken off headed for Dubrovnik, quite loud on a quiet Sunday morning!

I saw the Vulcan flying over the A64 near York. It was low with a dirty trail, but a nice sight.

Where did you see it 'scousefowler'?

 

[scousefowler]

I didn't see it, I was following the updates on twitter. It basically tells you where she is as she flys round the country. She was flying for around 3 hours yesterday, was in the midlands somewhere then displayed at southport airshow. Flew up the Mersey apparently. On her way back she routed through LBA airspace over skipton, on to Ellington, then home to finningley. I would be gutted if she had done a fly through at LBA and missed it!! Would need pics of that for sure!!

According to Chris Evans, (Radio 2), the Vulcan also put in an appearance at their Northern Motorfest, which was at some castle or other in Cheshire (Chumley I think) . A sore point with me as their alternative venue, which they discounted, was Harewood. No doubt the fact that Chris Evans comes from Manchester had a bit to do with that decision!

 

[lbaspotter]

Anyone know why todays PIA775 from Islamabad is running inbound via Karachi with a 5 hour delay as well?

 

[Bigman]

It's a mystery...it's a mystery...oh..sorry, just listening to my Toyah CD.

What looked like an MD-80 has just flown by on its way to LBA, I watched it land on the webcam.

[lbaspotter]

Jet2 are to lease a 2nd MD80 type aircraft this weekend due to aircraft shortages. This will be a Danish Air Transport aircraft which will position in tomorrow afternoon as EXS049A at 14:15 from Billund

 

[lbaspotter]

Danish Air Transport MD87, OY-JUR has just positioned into to Leeds from Billund as EXS049A for Jet2 ops.
