Well doesn't 'TN look smart in its new paint scheme! The Grumman Cougar has been hired in for a short while to do some "twin engined licence" check flights and revalidations. (so I am told by one who should know!)

G-MAJP outside again today - no markings
G-CCPW seemed to have gone today (Friday 6 May), it was outside Hangar 9 first thing but wasn't there when I got back from a trip to Fenland and back in G-BAEP Cessna 150.
Do you know if the J31 in Hangar 9 is G-EIGG - looks like it from the fin colour.

G-MAJP today no longer had Eastern A/W markings. G-INFO notes that an export C of A was issued 21/03/11.
Look out for it to appear in foreign markings unless it is delivered as 'JP

This seems to be a regular weekly service now.

G-SSSE & G-SSSD CHC S76's all taped up and rotor-less towed back into Hangar 9
G-CGMB Embraer 135 Eastern Airways, training circuits and approaches, then parked outside Eastern's hangar.
"Widget 01" - ZZ419 Shadow R1 doing NDB approaches in the afternoon.

Thanks for the pics. Saw and heard the red Cessna 165 fly over Grimsby on its way in - wondered what it was with a radial engine!

Thanks Rich. Wondered what Commadore 01 was while I was listening out this morning at home. Nice catch with the Spitfire BTW.

Always good to see your posts from Humberside. Were these taken in the morning? Looks like Mr Lake by the King Air.
Not me flying 'AC this time although I took it to Sibson just after dinner to help bring C150 G-BAEP back.

Also seen
G-KNLD Beech King Air 300. Still parked outside Hangar 9 at 1630hrs.
BBMF Dak apparently still not right so parked up outside Eastern's. Due to go to Norwich for respray apparently.

Flew PA28 G-BEAC 4-up to Sibson to ferry G-BAEP (Cessna 150) back after mtce

G-SSSE towed round to Hangar 9 this morning as shown ie no rotors and all taped up.
Nothing else ro see, even the seagulls were walking!

Regarding the decaying Jetstream 41 fuselages between the Eastern hangar and Hangar 9 there are actually two of them. The British Aerospace demonstrator/company hack is the left hand one as viewed from the opposite side of the airfield. I have a feeling that the other was an unregistered/unfinished ...

Seen parked outside the Eastern Airways hangar this morning
HK-4765-X Jetstream 41 in basic Eastern blue and white but no markings otherwise.
Check on G-INFO shows that G-MAJV was deregistered on 02/02/11 with a destination of Colombia, guess that's it then.

G-BVME seen dissappearing into Hangar 9 on August 20 as TF-EIR. According to G-INFO it became 'VME in July!

Parked on GA Apron then departed to Sturgate - N116KY PA32-301 Piper 6x
G-MAFB Cessna F406 Fisheries Protection, departed with usual Watchdog callsign

You are spot-on it is Thunderbird 3! Bought from Blackpool Pleasure Beach by Mr Lake (Eastern Airways) apparently.

N12UM Gulfstream G-IV on Southern Apron (it had possibly night-stopped or arrived very early)
SX-SEC J41 outside Eastern Airways, any previous identity for this aircraft please? Sorry just seen the post from 18/11 which answers this question.
VP-CRB LJ60 pushed into Hangar 9 with the CHC helicopters

G-SNSA was in service today (Thursday 25 November). It was G-JEZA last Thursday (18 November)
Hangar 9 doors were openned briefly this morning to put VP-CRB (LJ60) inside. Could see 2 off CHC S76's and 2 off CHC AW139's inside. Believed to be more that were not visible.

Thanks for the reply. It was, however, the fact that my brother had 4 helos (A109/B222 size) southbound at about 2 minute intervals on the low level route after last weeks game that prompted the question. So, if not Barton then where I wonder.

My brother tells me that after every MU home game he gets many executive helos over his house heading south down the low level route at Thelwall. He asks if they use Barton or is there another landing spot for them? Thanks for any answers.
