There are a couple of Excel B737-800 arr/deps at Coventry tomorrow, I presume they are Football related. Presumably Excels 738's have the more powerful engines although I only think they are from & to Amsterdam so presumably won't have a full compliment of fuel.

Coventry has been quite busy lately with an increase in Executive GA movements & additional ad-hoc cargo flights. There doesn't seem much opposition to these movements from many people despite them using the same airspace (Birmingham & airways) as the Thomson flights use & probably create as much noise (& extra traffic) as these use the Baginton side of the airport

Finally, a RAF C-17 should visit Coventry overnight due to Birminghams runway being closed for repairs/WIP. Presumably they'll park it on the disused crosswind runway, not a lot of room elsewhere. No doubt the locals will blame a Thomson flight though if they get awoke by its arrival!!
