VISITORS
Ryanair B738 EI-ESZ (34996) finally made its first Gatwick visit at lunchtime today on a service from Rygge - it had been based at Stansted until recently. Those still to visit, with what I believe to be their present bases, are EI-EVB (Malaga), EI-EVC (Malta) & EI-EVJ (Hahn). Of more interest, & arriving shortly afterwards, was CRJ2 OD-TAL (7086 ex D-ACLR, C-FLHQ) of Easy Fly, which came in from Toulon. Lebanese aircraft aren't exactly common here & the last one that I can recall visiting was Tristar OD-JOE on a Ghana A/W flight on 30/07/07.
Making its second visit was Emirates B773 A6-EGS.
