Wonder what the tailwind restriction is for the 3B approahes given the reasonably common 5-8 kts south easterly that accompanies the low cloud. Pity the A320s are still CAT1. Its ironic given the p poor state of LBAs charter offering that of the based operators it does/has attracted, most that I can recall have been restricted to CAT1 (BY A320, 738), Skyservice A320 etc.
re the surprising news - I've made mention of this a couple of times and the original poster has said nothing so take it with a pinch of salt. As I said before, LBA developments almost never get tipped off in advance (RYR to Shannon being the latest). The quieter the rumour mill the better.
