Summer 2001 was when Monarch operated Luton-Sanford (SFB) direct on the A330, Mondays, can't locate timings, though. East apron, yes, stand 48. First flight operated 7th July 2001, no record as to when the series finished, last sighting I have is 17th Sept 2001. Yes, Airtours had their DC-10 based for summer 2001 as well, also Britannia had a 767 (300 I think) based. 31st July 2001 saw G-EOMA (A330) st48, G-DPSP (DC-10) st45 and Monarch DC-10 G-DMCA on a hangar check in 127. The Brit 767 I remember parking st5. Wide-body city!
