Hey eastcoaster ! What was wrong with a Dan-Air HS748 ?
Best company I ever worked for. I will have to report you to the Dan-Air Association.

N827GA Gulfstream 4 just departed at 0800 it arrived early yesterday morning.
Also I am pretty sure we had two B737-800s of Jet 2 operating From Lbia yesterday. One of them G-GDFV just departed to Glasgow as the EXS051B.

 

[a300boy]

Just seen nother different Jet 2 B737-800 this morning G-GDFC departing Lbia.

The flight was operated by Boeing 737-300, G-CELU. The passengers were transferred onto Leeds based Boeing 737-300, G-GDFM to continue their journey to Pula as EXS165A.

 

[lbaspotter]

Looks like Jet2 Boeing 737-300, G-CELU which diverted into Leeds earlier today operating the EXS165 from Glasgow to Pula has just been out on an engineering test flight this evening operating with flight no EXS051B...

British Airways are using Airbus A320, G-EUYD on this evenings London Heathrow shuttle SHT20C/21X rotations..

 

[48vanman]

I notice from the airport website that there is a Mistral Air flight from/to Rome due in at 12pm today.

Is this one of the charters for Italian students like last year?.

 

[White Heather]

Yes it is 48vanman - there has been several of them previous to this one and I suspect more yet to come although I imagine lbaspotter will be able to say for sure. Originally there was talk of some operated by Alitalia, also like last year, but I recall the first was cancelled and I don't think they have done any yet. Maybe all of the Alitalia flights have been dropped or switched to Mistral Air?

 

[Aviador]

The Italian school children were mentioned on today's Radio Leeds programme as visiting tourists coming to Yorkshire.

 

[lbaspotter]

RAF, BBMF Spitfire PM631 and Hurricane LF363 have just done a low level flypast over LBA enroute home to RAF Coningsby after taking part in this weekend's Blackpool Airshow.

 

[a300boy]

Yes I saw them both and even better heard them.

 

[LBAYORKIE]

A colleague of mine saw a large black triangular shaped aircraft flying low close to Odsal in Bradford on Sunday afternoon at 15:30. I suspected it was the Vulcan but having shown him pictures he says it was definitely black and more triangular in shape. Did anyone else see this aircraft and can anyone identify it please?

Thanks
Alan

 

[Tykesscott]

Yes it was the Vulcan. Some friends saw it whilst at Odsal watching the Bradford Bulls.
It was on it way over to Blackpool for a display I believe.

 

[LBAYORKIE]

Many Thanks.

British Airways must be short of aircraft today as Titan Airways Boeing 737-300, G-ZAPZ is operating the Heathrow shuttle SHT20A/21Z rotation this morning
