VISITORS
Alba Star B734 EC-LNC (24130 ex D-AHLQ, JA8954, N721VX), which arrived from Clermont-Ferrand, made its first visit this morning. Presumably, this aircraft, along with the Transavia B738, arrived here in connection with tomorrow afternoon's Heineken Cup quarter final clash between Saracens RFC & Clermont at Vicarage Road. Lufthansa A319 D-AIBG (4841) was a newcomer on the late afternoon flight from Frankfurt.
Making their second visits were Ryanair B738 EI-EVF & Norwegian Air Shuttle example LN-DYY.
