Well I pondered that in a thread - TOM 737-500's yesterday.
The two that were supposed to be going to TUI from BMiBaby are still very much in Baby livery and were at CWL last weekend.
So what are they getting......ex Maersk ones first?

You won't see 737s in the circuit at CVT. The runway's too short for touch and goes and the noise issue is far too sensitive at the moment! They're probably training/testing at EMA or elsewhere.

Hi Dan/all
The first Aircraft, G-THOA did a 1 hour test flight out of Lasham at 12:10 today (10th) Flight No TOM001T (callsign 'Thomson')
I will keep you posted on further movements.
(When you down at the airfield next Dan?)
Cheers,
Jon

On the Thomsonfly webpage they have announced a spring sale, flights to Jersey from 99p plus tax!
Just 20 days to go!
Dan: Wrong airfield, I was referring to the airfield you learnt to fly at!

I have just been and looked at cheap flights with Thomsonfly - CVT to JER......there are some really good bargains....99p each way - for 6 of us (four of which are children) and its still gonna cost us nigh on £200. Have you seen how much Pax Tax and service Tax they have added going out of CVT.............and no eatery, amusement arcade or parking too! Shame!
Maybe the kidz had better practice rowing!!!!!!

The flight to Maastricht was cancelled today, so the 1st aircraft remains at Lasham with no paint scheme. It's currently white all over.
Maastricht is where Tui group aircraft are painted.

Latest from Cov:
A local MP will now be asking the aviation minister for an Enviromental Impact Assessment to be done for Coventry. If this happens then the flights will not be allowed to commence until it is complete (anyone booked one?)
Also there is still no date for a hearing by WDC on the new terminal application.

Here's the 1st photo of Thomsonfly.com full colours. Notice the American reg is still there but 'OB' is on the nosewheel door:

I'll keep everyone informed of movements at Coventry, I only live 3 miles from the end of the runway.
