Spotting Movements Log & Heads Up

[Aviador]

Disappointingly it seems we have lost a football charter today as Huddersfield Town will not be flying into LBA for their match against Bradford City.

Might be a bit too windy for a Cherokee

Aurigny Dornier 228 G-ETAC is planned to operate the Guernsey schedule this afternoon in lieu of the usual ATR72-600. Subject to change.

Blimey, bookings must be poor.

And an unpressurised aircraft, a nice ride through the cumulonimbus tops today.

Cheapskates!

It's due to crewing shortages on the ATRs. Those not on the Dornier are being flown to MAN ( on a Titan E190 apparently). Looks tp be G-OAUR foing the LBA flight now.

To LBA to MAN to pick up MAN pax and then on to Guernsey I assume.

Well it's still on the ground at Leeds at 1800, so been here 90 minutes now. According to FR24 it's going to Guernsey direct.

Yes, left 1816. It did go to MAN - and passed overhead at 10000 feet en route direct to Guernsey.

Disappointed it landed 14 and departed 32, so never saw it.

Jet 2 A321N G-SUNG is operating the delayed LS257 and LS258 to & from PMI.

 

[Len Fish]

Looks to have been on a test flight and then diverted to LBA and landed at 09.31. FR shows it as due out to PMI at 12.25. Wonder if they’re shipping over a full crew from Manchester to LBA to perform the flight?

Probably, hence the 1215 departure.
I noticed a 738 doing what presumably was an engineering flight this morning - departing Leeds International Airstrip, and arriving at Leeds International Airstrip an hour later. Cpt Boycott at the controls. So that suggests they have one or two poorly 737s.

easyJet Europe Airbus 319 OE-LQC is currently making her first LBA visit on the Paris Charles de Gaulle turnround.

Four aircraft have just landed or are landing in quick succession, all passing over or very close to my house. If this continues I’ll have to sell my business and sack all my staff!

 

[BarnsleyHolidays]

TUI Airways Boeing 737 Max 8 G-TUMS is enroute from Palma de Mallorca and will make her first LBA visit at lunchtime.

[BarnsleyHolidays]

Malta Air Boeing 737-800 9H-QEB is just crossing the English Channel and will soon arrive from Palma de Mallorca on her first LBA visit. This fuselage first appeared at LBA on 30 June 2019 when operated by Ryanair as EI-GDO.

Eastern Airways Embraer 170 G-CMLI is due to arrive from Gatwick tomorrow at 1725 (info courtesy of FR24). My guess is it will be Brighton FC’s team bus for their match against Barnsley FC on Tuesday.
