VISITORS
It's all about A320s today. Air One A320 EI-DSY (3666) made its first visit from Milan/Malpensa, while second visits were made by THY example TC-JPL & Aeroflot's VQ-BAX.

FLEET NEWS
BA Cityflyer E190 G-LCYR (19000563) positioned from Exeter to London City at lunchtime today & entered service late this afternoon on a flight to Edinburgh.
OLT Express Poland A320s SP-IAG (2668 ex OE-LEO) & SP-IAI (5115 ex OE-LEJ) were noted at Vienna on 10/8 reregistered for Niki, but still in OLT scheme. Rather bizarrely they have not taken up their old registrations, but have reportedly become OE-LEL & OE-LEM respectively.
Virgin Atlantic A333 G-VINE (1231 ex G-VINE, N771RD) was restored to the register today & was ferried from Gatwick to Manchester for painting late this afternoon. Presumably the early & unexpected return of this aircraft from Ryan International has something to do with the carrier bringing forward the start of A333 operations from LHR to Washington Dulles from 31/03/13 to 28/10/12.

ROUTE NEWS 
None today.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
Legacy G-CFJA (1450145) was cancelled from the register yesterday as exported to Indonesia. If you have a spare $31.9 million that you don't know what to do with, that is the current asking price for Gulfstream 550 G-GSSO (5019). Perhaps you could get a bit knocked off for cash?

No predictions received for tomorrow so far, but some advanced warning from Neil Greatorex:
20/8 DLH898 to be op by A320
25/8 DLH898 to be op by A321
27/8 THY1981 to be op by B739
