WEEKLY SUMMARY DURING LOCKDOWN 29th May - 04th Jun

Credits for all movements and photos that are supplied on the blog pages go to each of our kind members on the YS email group.

Until things improve it is our intention to summarise the week in a basic bullet point format owing to the low level of activity at the airport, we still appreciate every input from our members and this will be added to this page as the week unfolds. Thank you as ever for your continued support. Stay safe Mark & Danny

Wednesday 3rd - A pretty good day for smaller Jets with yet another visit from Belgian FA7X OO-LUM c/s BAF94 visiting us between 1015-1035 arriving  from Brussels and leaving for Shannon. Citation 525 G-TWOP arrivedas CLF373 from Toulouse at 1146. And another 525 from France in the form of F-HAJD c/s VLJ40AV arrived at 1235 from Angoulmere and left at 1330 for Marseille. 3 Jet2 movements today as G-JZBN left us for Stansted at 1110 as EXS055B and in the opposite direction  G-GDFR EXS051B and G-JZHV EXS059B  arrived at 1430 & 1457 respectively.

Thursday 4th -Whilst G-TWOP remained with us today it was joined by another C525 when M-OLLY arrived at 0900 from Memmingham. G-GDFU made its way to Leeds from Stansted as EXS051B arriving here at 1212. Something somewhat smaller and considerabbly faster than the usal transporter when the RAF presented us with a visit by Typhoon ZJ929 as it slid down the approach at 1520 as Triplex 71 before roaraing off into the distance.
