VISITORS
An eminently forgettable day without even a second visit to mention.
Further to yesterday, G-EZWC was actually on its third visit when it arrived from Malta, having set off to Alicante the previous evening shortly after it was delivered. Also, my thanks to Thomas Jaeger/ch-aviation for advising that MD82 YR-OTN is still with Jetran Air & that YR-MDK is the only aircraft currently on the AOC of Ten A/W. Titan A/W aircraft continue to frequent Gatwick, with B462 G-ZAPK & B733 G-ZAPZ subbing for Monarch & B752 G-ZAPX for easyJet today.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
I have just noticed this month-old report on TravelMole regarding how to deter hijackers Chinese style.
"Two men who allegedly attempted to hijack a plane were beaten to death by passengers and crew, according to China's state media. It claimed the men had been part of a gang of six hijackers onboard a Tianjin Airlines' flight from Hotan in southwest Xinjiang to Urumqi. Shortly after take-off the men, allegedly from the Uighur Muslim minority group, told the 101 passengers onboard they were taking control of the plane, said reports, and used broken crutches to attack passengers and crew and to try to break into the cockpit. However, passengers and police onboard managed to overpower the hijackers and tie them up with belts, allowing the aircraft to return safely to the airport. All of the hijackers were taken to hospital, where two later died".
