VISITORS
On a first visit this morning was Rossiya A319 VQ-BAV (1743 ex N907FR), while arriving this evening was Masterjet's Falcon 900EX CS-DPF (198). B744 G-VROM (32339) had the tape removed from both sides of the aircraft today & now shows the expected CP-2603. Though not technically a first visit, as it only had the tape removed here, I am still counting it as such. Incidentally, as far as I can trace, this is the first Bolivian aircraft ever to be seen at Gatwick. It is currently expected to depart later this evening. No less than seven aircraft arrived on their second visits today.

FLEET NEWS
BMIbaby. It is now known that B733 G-TOYI (28054) was ferried from East Midlands to Sofia on 1/11 for a C check, though with the airline announcing today that it is reducing its fleet to twelve aircraft, it would be surprising if it ever comes back.
Eastern A/W. The recipient of Jetstream 41 9N-AJC (41096 ex G-MAJM) is now confirmed as Yeti A/L. 
Olympic Air A320 SX-OAS (4094) made its first flight today as D-AVVB.
