A couple of military movements of interest -
RAF Herc C4 ZH874 callsign ascot21(?) buzzed Ronaldsway for about an hour on 12 Jan doing the odd o/s but most of the time just holding for an ILS approach from the east.
Slightly further off shore on 9th Jan an Airbus Voyager KC2 reg EC-335 could be made out doing circuits around the air to air refueling area 13 at FL200 - it spent about 90 mins doing race track and fig. 8 circuits before heading SE

Yesterday (Sunday) Falcon 2000 CS-DFE left about 10.15 from Area Victor. Don't think that I've seen that one before.
Regarding the earlier Friday post of a "Union Jack Hawk" in the circuit, both of the 2011 RAF display Hawks were active from Valley on Friday - see photos on this website, also including the first photos I have seen of the two T.2s in their new 4 Sqdn markings.
Sorry can't paste the link, for some reason. Try entering Diecast Aviation Forum, and go to the Photography section halfway down. The photos are under "Poets Day at Valley".

New G200 M-ILTD arrived 19.30 last night (Monday). Presumably departed before airport closed.
News for Summer 2012 includes the Aer Arran ATR42s being repainted in full Aer Lingus Regional colours, with one apparently already in the paint shop.
Flybe's newly announced Norwich service is apparently to be flown by a Do228 in Flybe colours, but not the FLM examples. ScotAirways has been mentioned, but the press reports said Loganair. Confused?
TT fortnight charters to include Mistral 737, and BA Emb195 - that should be a first! Also Thomas Cook (again).

Sounds interesting for this summer. The first ATR42 of Aer Arann to go into Lingus colours maybe EI-CBK (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056515703).
BA ERJ195 (I presume) should be in on the 2nd of June for bringing in the Olympic Torch (presumably meaning it will be leaving from Liverpool).

On the 17th Cranwell 19 - Beech 200 ZK456 - made an approach and go-around before heading to Aldergrove.
Yesterday (18th) Citation 525A N380CR was here most of the day and Citation 525 N646VP arrived just after 1900 to night-stop on Area V.
Today another Cranwell - 66 - made an approach.

An RAF Hawk did an overshoot today but other than that it was quiet

Cranwell 66 on the 19th was ZK456 again.
Today has seen Cirrus SR22 N722DR in (from Carlisle?) and Aer Arran's EICBK looking very smart in the Aer Lingus scheme; Easyjet was ZDH again.

The Gulfstream duly arrived about 1740 last night and remains parked on the west apron this afternoon; joined just before 3pm by Learjet 45 VPBSF which parked on Victor (unusual to see 2 VP- here at the same time.)

Passing by the airport at 10:15 and the following non-residents were noted: VP-CRO ; gulf V and West Air ATP LX-WAW was outside EAM hanger. Noticed two o/shoots by hawks (one around 10:10 & another around 10:30) whether its was the same aircraft or a T1 or T2 couldn't tell due to low cloud base.
PS VP-CRO had gone before 13:30 when passed by again
