Think the memory might be going too,the Learjets were on Sunday afternoon :D

Don't think there has been a LJ in today.The only departures around then were A321 G-POWN 'AWC435Y' positioning to EMA after a Santa flight at 17.45 and HS125 LY-LTA 'LTC601' at 18.15.

The weight and balance calculations for that flight will need more attention than normal :D

And I wonder how many people will bother with that?(or am I getting cynical in my old age.....)

Not sure what the problem was but it finally got away just before 14.00.

Also did an ILS to a cloud break this morning before continuing visually for a short visit to a site in Ilkley to pick up some passengers.The weather this afternoon stopped him doing the same to drop them back there.

G-RCAV was re-registered as G-DAYA last June.

And left after about 15/20 minutes for Carlisle.

Pirate 11 from and to Leeming,no serial known (as yet )as it wasn't plotting on the trackers.

Departed around 21.30 as Viper Formation en route to Leuchars

Second one is ZJ225

About the only thing around then was Rockwell 114 G-OECM (low wing,single engine light aircraft)out of LBA to Carlisle,it was built in 1995 so a mere youngster!

Going back a bit further don't forget the 'Link City' service Dan Air operated,(often with one of the few female pilots that were around then,Yvonne Sintes,at the helm) between Bristol,Cardiff,LBA and Glasgow. And talking of Bristol anybody remember(or even better have a photograph of) Severn...

If you have queries on past movements at LBA it is worth trying the Air Yorkshire website,a lot of past Air Yorkshire magazines have been scanned and posted on there.Having said that August 1978 isn't amongst them!

Trevor it was XX203/Pirate03

Similar incident at Manchester back in 2016 seems to have a connection to the use of the tug and it's effect on the structure of the nosewheel over time. http://avherald.com/h?article=49f929b0

The Islander was F/T Waddington and used the callsign Jackal21 so may still be in use by the RAF for ''surveillance'' flights.

Netjets Challenger CS-CHE departed to Lisbon as NJE295C at 14.24 and Global Jets Austria GlobalExpress OE-LMA departed to Marseille as GLJ75MA at 14.46.Both have winglets and are mainly white.

A300boy it was G-DAYR

''Novelair''?,who are they?? :D
