Marquis, thanks for posting the aircraft identification for 'F-JUKE' and the details of its trip back to France The Brighton City Airways flights from Shoreham to Paris Pontoise were suspended from 07/05/13. Details on www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-22383477The only positive thing I can see in this is that the residents of the IOM get a chance to photo a new airline colour scheme Regards John

Colourful Hawker 850XP M-YCEF arrived yesterday evening, and this morning is heading out across the Atlantic.
Marshall's 10B has just landed (1030) - that should be the Challenger 300 G-KALS.

Cessna 310R N747YK arrived this morning and is parked on V.
Seaking HAR3 XZ593, coded I, callsign "SRG40" made an approach and go-around just after 1400.
The Loganair from Edinburgh has been holding for several minutes and is now returning to Edinburgh due to the strong winds being outside of limits for the (presumed) Dornier, even on 03/21.

M-YCEF departed at about 10:20 this morning. N747YK departed at 15:50, also arrived yesterday and still parked at Manx Flyers is Piper PA-46 N186CB. Crosswind landings looked a bit hairy for G-EZAS and G-BUUP arriving at about 16:00. Also of note EC-GPS was taken out of the EAM hangar. At about 13:40 I noted what looked like a Royal Navy Lynx skirting the south of the airfield at low level

David I saw the Seaking south at 13:55ish. Maybe there was a Lynx though, can't help unfortunately. Metro EC-GPS has resumed it place next to SE-LGV. It was G-KALS arriving this morning, parking on V then departing about mid day.

A Navy Lynx callsign "Skua 340" was around yesterday morning - it called a couple of times and appeared to be out to the west at very low level. The Seaking was in the hold over the island for a while before making its approach ending with a go-around at 1408 so I suspect that may be what you saw David.

Today's excitement was the arrival of brand new Cessna 560XLS+ UR-UQA for a fuel stop on delivery from the US - parking outside of PJC it was only on the ground from 1045 to 1125.
Later, the DA42 Twin Star G-DSPY landed before routing out to the north west on a survey, returning later, presumably for fuel.
And a Typhoon, callsign "??02" made an approach and go-around on 08 at 1415 - ID presently remains unknown.

ZK306 appears to be correct, my photos look to have tail code BT, which is ZK306's marks. G-EJAR came back in on the Gatwick flight this afternoon. Also there seems to be a solution to the mystery Lynx. Currently in Liverpool is destroyer HMS Edinburgh with Lynx HMA8 XZ736 aboard. AIS picks up HMS Edinburgh just off Port Soderick at 13:40 on Thursday, exactly the right time for the Lynx to fly over and land

Missing from Alex's report yesterday was PA24-250 N7456P which parked at Manx Flyers and remains there today. Also there are P&M Quik R G-PICX and a P&M Quik which remains unidentified - both are tied down so may be here for a few days.
Colourful Rockwell 114 G-BFXS parked on V for a couple of hours; this afternoon's LPL Easyjet was G-EZGB.
Back over at Manx Flyers mid-afternoon saw the arrival of PA28-180 G-AZYF - this has recently been registered to a Manx company, so it may be a new resident ?

No sooner had I posted the comment about G-AZYF when it departed back to the UK !!
Surprise today was the French Army TBM-700 159/ABU which means all 3 of the French air arms have visited this year (usually when its raining !).
