I see on the LBA spotting website there is a picture of a Cathay 747 cargo, was that at LBIA??

No that picture was not taken at LBA. In fact i was taken by someone who was at MAN and it has been uploaded and added into the Photo Gallery within the the website. Check out the photo's in the gallery using the following link for more details. http://www.lbaspotters.net/apps/photos/

Hope that helps.

Monarch's new A320, G-ZBAA is now on her way to her new LBA home positioning up from LTN as MON572P. She should be here for around 12 mid day...

Monarch's new A320, G-ZBAA is now on her way to her new LBA home positioning up from LTN as MON572P. She should be here for around 12 mid day...

Will anyone be taking any pics when it gets here as FR24 is still showing it in Airbus colours?

Its 100% definite in Monarch colours.

When no photo's are in the database, iFR24 shows the aircraft in 'house' colours.

A320, G-ZBAA is in full Monarch Airlines livery and has been parked on stand 13.

Meanwhile British Airways, A319, G-DBCD inbound now on the SHT1346 has just reported a smell of burning in the Cabin and is been vectored in for an approach to runway 14. Manchester based Engineer's have also been requested to attend so they'll be a lengthly delay to the outbound SHT1347 I guess...

The BA flight is boarding so the problem, if there was one, must have been solved.

The monarch 320 is an absolute Beauty!!!! Great colours and class winglets!

There are photos of the new Monarch A320 in its full livery if you google it. I just entered 'Monarch A320 with Sharklets' and there are several photos of it, presumably down at LTN

Easyjet Switzerland are operating today's Geneva flight. HB-JZP is the registration.

 

[White Heather]

Well that crew should be well used to landing on snow then. Good planning!

This picture was on the Daily Mail website.

Looking very smart with the sharklets. I hope they pass through BHX from time to time over the summer.

 

[LUFC Jonno]

Easyjet Switzerland are again operating today's Geneva flight. HB-JZW is the registration.

Does anybody know what's happening with Thomson's 757, it has been sat on stand since Friday

Easyjet A319 HB-JZF operated todays inbound Geneva flight which diverted to Liverpool.

 

[Geordiebob]

Anyone know why the jet2 75 (G-LSAN) is at Leeds and Glasgow are using G-LSAB?
Is G-LSAN maybe getting prepped to be based in Alicante?

 

[a300boy]

I do not know the answer to your original question about AB / AN but my understanding is that Alicante is going to be a Boeing 737 only base.

Re: Movements Log & Heads Up

Also on the departures board, there was LS 051B to Leeds Bradford leaving at 07:00 and returning 40 mins later. Anyone know why?

The LS51B service should have been a engineering test flight for Boeing 737-300, G-GDFH which has been sat over at Multiflight since it was ferried from Bournemouth the earlier this week.

Going back to 12 July last year this was posted on the forum.

However the archived movements (on lbaspotters website) suggest that it was G-CELU that operated that test flight.


Which is likely to be correct?

 

[lbaspotter]

I can confirm that the EXS051B test flight on July 12th, 2012 was operated by Boeing 737-300 G-CELU, As i had it logged @ 06:58 GMT.

Boeing 737-300 G-GDFH remained sat at LBA over in the Multiflight hangar as it needed some attention as defect was picked up with the airframe. This repair should have been picked while it was having it's c-check in Belgrade but wasn't.

I noticed this Jet 2 callsign on Radar 24 twice on the last two days It departed from Manchester climbing to a high flight level over the north sea,then back to Manchester. Last night it did the same but held in a race track around Newcastle and then landed at Lbia. So it would seem whatever the technical problem is requires another test flight today.
I have forgotten the registration but it was one in the sequence G-GDF? It is just starting up so I will check the registration as it taxis past my house.
