MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
Still recovering from an exhausting journey back from an extremely successful trip to China, so apologies for any errors in today's posting. My thanks to Ken Ede for keeping a note of first visits in my absence. Despite a flurry of newcomers near the end of the month, it was a disastrous September with only 25 first visits compared to last year's 60. Here's hoping for a better October.
Biz jets recently added to the UK register have been:
G-CJME BD700 (9209) for Corporate Jet Management at Farnborough
G-CPRR Citation 680 (0276) for Twinjet Aircraft Sales
G-DRBM Phenom 100 (5000055) for Flairjet Ltd at Kidlington
G-FBKC Citation 510 (0127 ex N627CM) for Blink Ltd
