VISITORS
Iberia A319 EC-HGT (1247) was an unusual newcomer for Gatwick this morning, arriving from & returning to Madrid. For the second day running we had an EasyJet A320 delivery when G-EZWD (5249) arrived from Finkenwerder this afternoon & then operated a service to Madrid this evening.
A320 G-EZWB flew its first revenue earning service this morning to/from Valencia before departing to Athens this afternoon from where it is due back later.

FLEET NEWS
Easyjet A320 G-EZWD (5249) was delivered from Finkenwerder to Gatwick this afternoon. Still due off the line this year are G-EZWE (5289), G-EZWF (5319) & G-EZWG (5318). All should make their first flights in September & that is the lot until next year.
Flybe DH8D G-JEDJ (4058), which was registered to Magellan Aviation Services on 31/7, left Exeter today for Keflavik, presumably on return to Bombardier.
Jet2. Although planned to land at Newcastle from Southend yesterday following a test flight, B752 G-LSAN (26635) arrived there earlier than expected on a full emergency due to a serious fuel leak. It was ferried back to Southend today. 
THY A321 TC-JSC (5254) was delivered from Finkenwerder to Istanbul/Ataturk today.
