VISITORS
Olympic Air A319 SX-OAF (3895) was the only newcomer of the day.
Unusually, we had two medical diversions, both of which were en route from Scandinavia to Las Palmas.

FLEET NEWS
Eurocypria is to be liquidated after the EU banned its proposed merger with Cyprus A/W.
RAM B734 CN-RNA (26531) was ferried from Casablanca to Southend today, probably prior to sale.

ROUTE NEWS
None today.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
There is no denying that Gatwick was a far more interesting airport in terms of unusual & unpredictable visitors many years ago than it is today. To illustrate the point I have compiled a list of the more noteable ones to be seen here 40 years ago. With thanks to the Gatwick Aviation Society/Hawkeye, the list appears after today's movements &, although long, you should see what I had to leave out! Hope it stirs a few memories among the older ones among you.

Due tomorrow:
CS-DMP Be400 eta 14.55 as NJE798F, etd 16.25 as NJE233B
CS-DMW Be400 eta 17.35 as NJE924K
CS-DRX HS125 eta 11.40 as NJE464H, etd 13.05 as NJE887U
M-ARIE PC-12 eta 19.05
M-YJET DA2000EX eta 08.50, etd 10.00

Hi John

I was interested in your listing of Gatwick from 1970 as I went on my first ever aeroplane from there in the summer of 1969. I flew with Spantax to Mallorca and I've often wondered if I could narrow it down as to what type of aircraft it was.

Do you have any listings from Gatwick of the previous year or could suggest who I could contact to try and find out more?

Thanks
