VISITORS
Two very new airliners made their first visits today. Early afternoon saw Norwegian Air Shuttle B738 LN-NGE (39050) drop in on a service from Oslo, to where it was delivered only two days ago. It has a mainly pail blue tail with "unicef unite for children" in white along with "Every child deserves a childhood" in pale blue on the upper fuselage. Arriving late afternoon was Lufthansa A319 D-AIBJ (5293) from Frankfurt, to where it was delivered on 28/9.
A small correction to yesterday, I-SEAR was actually on its fourth visit & not on its second (that's what happens when I go away & thanks to Mike Hooker for correcting me).
A109 G-PBWR (22050) seems to have been on its second visit today but, as it doesn't show anywhere on SBS, it may well have sneaked in a few more times.

FLEET NEWS
Strategic A/L entered administration yesterday after losing the Olympic Holidays contract.
Virgin Atlantic A346 G-VMEG (391) was ferried from Gatwick to Lourdes today as VIR813P for storage, where it joins G-VSHY (383).

ROUTE NEWS 
None today.
