PA28-180 G-BCCF arrived from Liverpool this morning and parked on V alongside D-GFBR and OO-SAM.
PA34-200T G-RVRB made two go-rounds as "RVR34T".
PA34-200T N37US returned and went to Area M where it was noted several times during TT - it appears to now be resident, possibly as a replacement for Aztec G-CALL.

PA34-200T N37US returned and went to Area M where it was noted several times during TT - it appears to now be resident, possibly as a replacement for Aztec G-CALL. Interesting, I had wondered what happened to the Aztec G-CALL, it was a frequent visitor to Liverpool and then it seemed to just vanish So I just looked it up in GINFO which showed the aircraft still owned by John Moon, who I believe was long associated with Woodgate Aviation. The Airworthiness Review Certificate shows expired as of Sept 6, 2022. Flightaware showed that the last recorded flight was on July 23, 2022. The routing was from Perth towards Ronaldsway at around 5500-6000' altitude when it made an abrupt descent to around 4000' just prior to crossing the Scottish coastline followed by a direct routing to Prestwick. I can only assume there was a situation that required an immediate diversion. I could not find any further activity so presume that the aircraft remains at Prestwick. I don't remember seeing anything related to this aircraft - so does anyone have any further info? www.flightaware.com/live/flight/GCALL |

In the period Jan 2014 to mid 2023, there were 82 visits to Liverpool JLA recorded by ATC by Aztec G-CALL. The final visit being on Thursday 23rd June 2022, f&t IoM in the afternoon, with just a 30 minute stop at Liverpool.
An aircraft that has a long association with visits to Liverpool. G-CALL was registered with the CAA 21.12.77 as a new aircraft. The first visit to Liverpool was a few weeks later, on Monday 10th January 1978, routing from Staverton, night stopped at Liverpool, then to Blackpool the following day, the operator noted as City Air Links, Isle of Man. It went on to visit 23 times during the year of 1978.
It was joined in September 1978 by Navajo Chieftain G-CITY - another once very frequent Liverpool visitor. Although not seen at Liverpool since 19th April 2020 (which was at the depths of Covid lock-down), when Woodgate Avn replaced their Chieftains on medical flights from the Isle of Man with larger, therefore more Covid 'friendly' King Air 200s.
My original 2017 date was due me somehow having corrupted my 8-year searchable movements file, so that all Woodgate Navajo Chieftain movements were recorded as G-JAJK not by either G-JAJK or G-CITY. The annual files not being affected.

I saw G-CALL in Prestwick a few weeks back parked outside the Prestwick aviation centre/club and didn’t look in a great state. I guess it’s still awaiting spares or has been condemned? A real shame…
