The winglet fitted XL738 is, or was parked on stand 5 or 6 - just about the time the KLM F50 landed, made a rather boring day somewhat more interesting..
Cripes, the local rag having a field day with Newcastle this last few days. Read in tonight's chip wrappings.

Newcastle Airport boss John Parkin has resigned.
Mr Parkin, 52, was suspended in March while the airport investigated what it described as “certain personal contractual issues”.
A statement released by the airport on Thursday said: "Following a statement issued on 23rd March 2007 concerning the suspension of John Parkin, Chief Executive, and an associated ongoing investigation into certain personal contractual issues, Newcastle International Airport Limited confirms that Mr Parkin has resigned from the Company with effect from Friday, 11th May 2007.
"Since 23rd March significant progress has been made in connection with the investigation into the personal contractual issues and Mr Parkin’s resignation does not affect or impact on the ongoing inquiry.
"We are advised that, because of the legal nature of the ongoing investigation, we are unable to make any further comment on the matter at this time."
Oh well.
