Leeds Bradford: Aircraft Movements, Flight Logs & Daily Heads Up

[YorkshireLad]

First time I've seen this in a while - Jet2 B737-800 G-JZBK completed a single left-hand circuit this morning as EXS059B. Also unusual is that Flightradar doesn't list it under LBA departures or arrivals, even test flights have usually been shown over the past 5 or so years

 

[Len Fish]

The flight is shown under the aircraft details though as EXS 059B and took all of 16 minutes!

 

[YorkshireLad]

Yes, however has no listed scheduled arrival or departure time, meaning it doesn't show up on the LBA departures/arrivals menu, which Flightradar has generally shown since around 2022

FR showing a Sky Alps Dash-8-Q400 9H-SOP due in tommorow afternoon 17:30 from Turin BQ2301

Departs tommorow at 21:30 back to Turin as BQ2302 thought to have been bringing in Torino football team for their game against Burnley

Nice to see a Dash 8 back at LBA, wonder when the last time we had one in was? must be a while surely

Last I have is 23/12/2025 when Aer Lingus brought in 9H-MMW in the EI3670/3671 Belfast City rotation. Happy to be proven wrong though, I'm sorely missing them. And the Saabs, and the Jetstreams, and the 757s (I could go on forever)

And in less tham 18 months we will be missing the 737 300s. When they're gone, they're really gone.

Leeds has a match with Leipzig coming up on Saturday and Augsburg on the 15th, so may have a couple of charters.

I still miss the 737-200!

 

[Finger66]

What noisy ******** they were. OMG I sound like one of them!

 

[mullion]

Those engines used to crackle on take off. I also miss the HS748 when on their way out of takeoff

I knew it, we’ve been infiltrated!

I can assure you you haven't. But then I suppose I would say that wouldn't I........😜

Here's a question I've been sitting on for a while, and have decided for some reason that now's the time to ask (as opposed to any time in the past 4 years apparently)

Using a combination of the yorkshirespotters blog, flightera.net, the lbaspotters website (using the internet archive) and this forum, I've been able to find most of the LBA movements during Feb 2010 - July 2010, Oct 2012 - Jun 2015, Jan 2016 - Feb 2016 and May 2017 onwards.

This leaves some pretty major blackspots, most notably large periods between Jul 2015 and Apr 2017 which definitely contains many movements which I would ideally like to know. Would anyone happen to either possess or know how to obtain movements from this peroid (or indeed any others)?

Thanks

Have you looked at the Air Yorkshire website? Their monthly mags are on there and they contain a movements log

This is an absolutely amazing find - it actually does contain a large proportion of the movements I'd be looking for. Thanks!

 

[Ian Gratton]

You should join Air Yorkshire we're a good friendly crowd and membership is cheap. We also have monthly meetings in the Aviation Academy and weekly drop-ins on a Tuesday and Friday at the Multiflight cafe on a morning/lunchtime

A Fokker F27 is due in 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Can’t find anything as yet but they’re at a training camp near Salzburg until tomorrow (Friday) and then leaving from there for Elland Road. Perhaps they’re arriving by dinghy!

Is this the right channel for such a comment?
