Still on yesterday, recently registered Falcon 900 PHEBR paid a brief visit, arriving about 1710 and departing within an hour.
Earlier the Valley-based AW139 ZR283 made an approach and go-around at 1418, calling as "Hornet 82".
Today so far only Learjet N700KG, in mid-morning.

These weekend early starts are beginning to become a habit !!
Today's event was the 0735 arrival of Cessna 525C N95FP (latest demonstrator ?) from Keflavik - parked on V.

There was a Dutch Fokker 50 in at lunchtime today!
My guess is that it was flying a schedule for Blue Islands?

I didn't hear a "Blue Islands" call-sign and it would be unusual for them to operate on a Saturday - I did however hear a foreigner on a Flybe flight late morning and though not unusual, could that have been it ??
And yesterday Fokker 50 PHKXX was noted on one of the SBS reports for the Lancs area on several Flybe services ??
Not sure when it came in but PA46 Meridean N46WK departed at 1412.

According to a posting on the "northwest-spotters" group, Fokker 50 PHKXX operated the BEE 813 from Manchester to the IOM this morning.

The Fokker 50 PH-KXX is Owned by Denim Air and has previously been operating for Blue Islands while one of their ATR'S was in for maintenence. My guess is that it is covering G-JECH while it gets repared in Exeter.The Fokker is currently based in Manchester, so we could see it again soon on some services!.
Also Blue Islands only operate in to the IOM on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Thanks for the clarification - it was indeed PH-KXX - one of the museum members got a photo of it taking off!
I seem to remember it operating some Denim/Euromanx services about 5 years ago - all white then, but now Blue & white. Presumably it also means that Flybe will stop lobbing ERJs across to us, and use the F50 instead (smaller loads).
Also talking of Flybe, the Norwich service was finally a painted Dornier again today - G-BWWT - my first!

On the subject of Blue Islands - they are currently using an ATR42 FHBSO - noted in Manchester today; they rarely use anything other than Jetstream here but it might be worth keeping an eye out just incase.

Looks like a quiet week - CJ4 N95FP finally departed yesterday afternoon, as did Lear 40 N700KQ (arrived Friday AM) which I think can be classified as semi-resident now.
Early-ish start this morning with the arrival before 0900 of Cirrus SR22 N447EQ, parking at Manx Flyers, as did Warrior GOBFS for a short visit mid-morning.

Easyjet today was G-EZDB , also the Denimair Fokker 50 PH-KXX is no longer operating for Flybe but is now operating for Blue Islands and will be for the Summer 2012 season. It is mainly operating the Manchester route though so we might not see it.

Acklington will be a 'movement' tomorrow - on the boat - for a three week trip - Duxford ;D, Fairford ;D, and Farnborough ;D, hopefully with a bit of Coventry, Lakenheath, and Coltishall in between the main events. So I won't be posting during this period, but I'll try to keep in touch with any texts. And any good IOM things that I miss, I don't want to hear about!  |

Also in yesterday was the modified Auster GAHCL which visited during the TT.
This morning over at Manx Flyers are Seneca DGJBA on its second visit of the year, and Bulldog XX695, alias GCBBT, whilst parked on the east apron is Falcon 50 MGPIK also on its second visit (having arrived in October 2008 as N315DV and being re-registered on the apron).
