Titan are taking their B733 away from Cov early Sunday am, leaving no a/c for the morning Naples. So the Jersey inbound will do the Naples 2 1/2 hours late.
No sign of a 4th a/c coming in for the rest of the day yet!

I will be up there over the weekend, so i'll see if I can get some shots of these things. Hop-efully I might be able to get up close and personal, well from the taxi way anyway 
Lots of Titans though it seems. Do they have a close relationship with Tfly then?

Flyme's B733 SE-RCP is broken and currently sits in Hangar 5 at Coventry. Titan's B733 G-ZAPM has come back to cover....

Airline launches a fresh attack Jun 10 2004
Warwick District Council has been accused of misleading people over the number of complaints received over the expansion of Coventry Airport.
Owner Thomsonfly says the number of complaints was less than the district council had suggested because it did not take into account people complaining more than once.
Communications director Kimberley Kay said "vast numbers" of complaints had been from prepared letters - and claimed some people complained up to 10 times each.
She said: "When compared with the number of Thomsonfly bookings from Coventry post-codes, the number was the equivalent of less than four per cent of the bookings."
The airport's claims come less than a month after the district council failed to win its High Court fight for an injunction against a temporary passenger terminal at the site.
And the airport claims it has receivedplenty oflettersofsup-port since the court case - and said 1,030 people had regis-tered support on a website backing the expansion.
But district council spokesman Richard Brooker maintained that the authority had received an "unprecedented" number of complaints against the airport. He said: "The council received about 2,500 objections to the airport application but just a handful in favour of it - we have never had so many complaints against an application."
Referring to the airport's figures regarding the support on its website, he said just 20 letters of support had been received at the district council.
Mr Brooker added: "The airport's figures very much tone down the overall number of complaints when the reality is very different."
Archy Muir, of the Campaign Against the Expansion of Coventry Airport said the airport'sfigureswere"meaningless".
He said: "This meaningless collection of unsubstantiated assertions and suggestions is not worthy of a response."
Mr Muir's comments came a day after he led complaints from airport protestersover a toy plane inThomsonfly livery.
He said it "mocked" airport protesters, butThomsonflysaid it was a standard toy, similar to others sold by other airlines.

Flyme B737-300 suffered a heavy landing at Cov so KLM made an inspection in the hangar, was put back into service the following day. The a/c then went tech after one return flight and was ferried back to Malmo.

G-THOB inbound from Palma, has just (Sat 17:50 BST ) diverted to Birmingham with a suspected burst tyre. There was a crosswind at Coventry
Earlier one pilot complained about the ILS at Coventry had directed him towards the hangars....
Earlier today at Birmingham a Britannia B767-300 departing to Paphos suffered a birdstrike on departure, declared an emergency, closed one engine down and returned to land (safely) at Birmingham.
