Thanks Guys.

The Gulfstream departed for Luton at 1025.

Arriving lunchtime for a brief stop was AW109SP GZ100 (confusingly the former G-ZIOO) of No 32 (The Royal) Squadron as "RRF 29" - it departed as "KRF 29"

- Germania A319 D-ASTO arrived early from Funchal and has since departed to Munich

- A recent arrival is Flybe Dash8 Q400 G-PRPC from Manchester

Some photos taken today, I wasn't brave enough to venture out in the storm for the Germania!

I was surprised to hear the Augusta using a "Kittyhawk" call sign, haven't heard that in ages, and previously only with Royalty on board. If there was on this occasion, then I'm very surprised at them venturing over the Irish Sea in today's conditions, emergency floats or not! Not a lifevest or immersion suit to be seen either.

At least I can claim to have seen the Germania Airbus D-ASTO arrive, but despite trying all the usual night time vantage points, the weather conditions completely defeated any attempt at photos - head-on horizontal rain, streaming windows, 40 knot winds, and an inconveniently parked ATP!
