Sunday 28th -Bit of an odd one this. Ryanair sent two 738s into Leeds this morning. EI-DHR positioned in at 0805 from Manchester as RYR9999. The scheduled Alicante flight operated by EI-EBA then arrived at 0810 and departed at 0855 using RYR1221 & 1222 respectively. EI-DHR still remains on the ground.
