VISITORS
Our first newcomer was Sun-Air D328JET OY-JJB (3199 ex D-BDXM, N328PT, I-AIRH, N328PT, OE-HCM, HB-AEU), which arrived from & returned to Billund this morning. We had to wait until this evening before our next one, which was Virgin Atlantic A346 G-VNAP (622) on a service from New York/JFK. Technically this was not a LHR diversion as it was rescheduled yesterday to operate to Gatwick instead of LHR due to snow as was UAE29 from Dubai.
Second visits were made by Aegean A320 SX-DVV & Ukraine International B738 UR-PSF.

FLEET NEWS
None today.

ROUTE NEWS
None today.
 
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
Those of you who don't subscribe to our Gatwick Aviation Society's magazine "Hawkeye" (shame on you!) will have missed an interesting short piece in this month's issue regarding some of the features being installed on the VIP A380 being built for Saudi Arabia. The full story may be found at:
http://fwd.posterous.com/prince-waleed-bin-talal-and-his-a380
You can keep your Gulfstreams, Global Expresses & Falcons - I'll have one of those!

An unusual fate has befallen one of our old regulars. SAS B735 LN-BRV (25791) was flown from Oslo to Shannon on 16/1, where it was registered NAF916 for the Nigerian A/F. It was then due to be ferried to Istanbul/Sabiha Gokcen today. Some of you will doubtless recall the previous NAF916, a C-130H that visited Gatwick between 1985 & 1987.

With little news, as is the norm for a Sunday, I have taken a look back to see what visitors you could have found at Gatwick on this date in years gone by & a selection of these may be found after today's movements.

Gatwick again continued to operate normally today despite the snow, while LCY remained closed with virtually all flights cancelled & LHR kept open by cancelling a further 20% of its flights (mostly BA once more), while Stansted & Luton seem to have operated pretty well as normal.

Due tomorrow:
G-BVMA Be200 eta 09.15, etd 10.20
M-ONAV HS125 eta 12.35 (second visit)
OO-MAS EMB500 eta 17.20 as AAB417 (first visit)
UR-PSF B738 on AUI501 (third visit)
Regular - AEE6lW/SX-DVO
NAX flights - 1ZN/NOV (also 12J), 5WP/NOR, 14X/DYR, 32A/NOQ, 36C/DYG, 51M/DYH, 5818/NOF
