Slightly unusual couple of movements today by CHC Helicopter Service Sikorsky S-92 G-WNSD, arriving from Aberdeen, then departing to Northern Ireland, where it operated for a while at low level and slow speed but didn't appear to land anywhere, then returning to GLA at 4000'. A short stop again, then off back to ABZ.

BA A320 G-EUUX positioning up from Gatwick

This aircraft hasn't flown a commercial service since 25 March - maintenance or further storage?

And Easyjet A320 G-EZUZ positioning down to Liverpool as EZY9012, last flight 03Jan LGW-GLA.

9270 is a regular maintenance number. The storage ones are 91xx.

It looks as if Palma is the preferred storage location - 2 A319s and 8 A320s flown there today as BA9250-BA9259

BA now have around 70 aircraft stored in Spain between Madrid, Palma & Tereul, 8 A380s plus A320 series

RAF Hercules and an E-3 Sentry both in the circuit/low passing this afternoon.

Only one approach from the Sentry (was hoping to get another but Loganair EMB145 was inbound from the north) - per FR24 airborne from Waddington at 1103L so it was a break from going round in circles just south of Luce Bay and now (1815L) going round in circles just north of Otterburn
