SAAB 2000 G-LGNP did not last long on the LCY service as its been replaced by G-LGNR today (not sure when it arrived).
Despite the rain and gales, the military have been quite happy today -
Firstly "German Air Force 953" Airbus A310-304 10+24 made a go-round just before lunch (first "visit" of type I suspect).
"Ascot 471" A400M Atlas ZM411 did a hold and go-round this afternoon before heading off for Valley.
Small bizjets braving the conditions today were Cesssna 550 G-JBLZ "Jester 2K" and Cessna 525A G-LFBD "CLF 115".

G-LGNP operated the evening BA3287 to London City but according to IOM Today website this diverted to Stansted as smoke was detected in the cabin. According to FR24 it is still there.
G-LGNR had earlier positioned Aberdeen - LCY yesterday afternoon and operated a delayed afternoon service BA3286 from LCY, the BA3285 to London City having been cancelled. It then positioned back to London City to operate the last flight back to the island.

Some photos taken during a short visit this morning, I'm fairly sure this is the 3rd GAF A310 visit, the last being in the summer I believe. Either way the first of the type I've seen on the IOM. Airbus A310 10+24 keeping it nice and low down the whole length of the runway, a great show!

Thanks for the updates and photos on a desperately dismal grey day. As ever, the wind posed problems for the ATRs, the Dublin flights didnt even try. Below is a link tracing EI-REL's valiant efforts to land from LPL this morning, but conditions just too bad. And it was far worse at high tide, after which gales abated somewhat. www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/be604/#1eb27d2d |
