[offtopic]The Daily Mail website is reporting on a "new" website that allows you to track aircraft on a map. Can any of you guess what this "new" site is called?[/offtopic]

Anyone know which Jet2 aircraft is positioning in from Lille AT 21:30 tonight as EXS041R?

Is it Flightradar 24 by any chance?

Looks like it's Avion Express and their A319 again! LY-VEU is on her way back to LBA!

Any reason why AB and AE have changed bases..? We seem to have AE with all the fleet being all over the place at the moment..?!

 

[White Heather]

The Avion Express A319 landed at LBA earlier this afternoon Tom, so it must be something other than that?

 

[tleeds]

Sorry yeah, I meant to put "LY-VEU is on her way back to LBA... As I Speak.. I didn't make it very clear.

It's an odd one, nothing was picked up on FlightRadar other than LY-VEU operating as EXS041R.. maybe she was just extremely early..?

 

[lbaspotter]

I can confirm that its was Airbus A319, LY-VEU that positioned into LEEDS from Lille as EXS041R quite early yesterday afternoon for Jet2 ops again.

It's probably just going to be a 738 and nothing to take too seriously so apologies if it is indeed incorrect but according to Flightstats.co.uk today's Thomson flight 3551 is to be operated by a 767.

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

All flightstats shows thomson flights as 767. A massive error! Look at a 737-800 only base, such as BOH or DSA they are 767 too.

 

[JakeS]

Apologies it's just a 752.

 

[White Heather]

I posted this morning that the flight was being operated by Boeing 757 G-OOBJ and it was here in this thread as I checked. I also posted it was just approaching the Italian coast near Venice and was more or less on time.

So where's it gone???? :dunno:

 

[masere]

Currently watching through the binocs two small planes doing a display somewhere in a south-westerly direction of Leeds. Did anyone see it?

 

[lbaspotter]

Looks like RAF Yeadon (Leeds-Bradford) is in active use today.

RAF Chinook, ZH901 has been seen over the airfield twice today at 09:25 & 14:20
RAF Hercules C130, ZH881 was also seen on finals to runway 32 at 10:30

 

[masere]

A Lynx also flew very low towards the city centre today with the rear door open, and its gear deployed just as it went out of sight. There's been a few recently. Only reason I can think of is they were heading for the helipad at LGI transporting injured troops?

Unless of course today Leeds is at war with MAN for that scheme to target our passengers!

 

[masere]

A light aircraft is currently circling Leeds trailing a banner for new Arriva buses in Yorkshire.

 

[lbaspotter]
