    GATWICK ROUNDUP 08-11-09

    VISITORS
    Flyglobespan B737 G-MSJF (30710) was a newcomer that arrived & departed early this morning. Also during the hours of darkness, Shell's very new Falcon 7X VQ-BSO (64) made its first appearance. 
    Arriving on a first visit late yesterday evening after I had posted the roundup was Premier M-VBBQ (RB-181 ex VP-BBQ), registered to Asia Universal Jet. Another Premier present today was OE-FKW (RB-77), which made a fleeting visit this morning on only its second appearance at Gatwick.

    FLEET NEWS
    BA Cityflyer. The delivery schedule for the EMB170/190s is slightly fluid, with some changes already. Here is how it looks at the moment, though there will doubtless be further changes.
    G-LCYG EMB170 29/11/09
    G-LCYH EMB170 20/12/09
    G-LCYI EMB170 31/01/10
    G-LCYJ EMB190 07/03/10
    G-LCYK EMB190 12/04/10
    G-LCYL EMB190 26/04/10
    G-LCYM EMB190 24/05/10
    G-LCYN EMB190 21/06/10
    Flybe DHC-8 G-ECOC (4197), currently with Wideroe as LN-WDU, is due to be returned off-lease on 1/12.
    Thomas Cook. It looks as though the lease of A321 G-DHJH (1238) to Thomas Cook Scandinavia that I reported on 5/11 must have been very short indeed as it arrived at Gatwick this evening as TCX321P from Banjul.

    ROUTE NEWS
    None today.

    MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
    A strange tale from the Aviation Herald. Iberworld A333 EC-IJH (072), operating MPD301 on behalf of Air Comet, en route from Madrid to Santa Cruz, Bolivia on 1/11 did not land at Santa Cruz, Bolivia but at Santa Cruz, Canary Islands (otherwise known as Tenerife). The aircraft left after about 17 hours on the ground & the lack of explanation for the diversion from any of the crew has led the passengers to suspect that the crew had confused Santa Cruz, Bolivia with Santa Cruz, Canary Islands!  
    Early warning. My last roundup for a week will be on 12/11 as I will be in Dubai for the air show.
