Eastern Airlines Saab 2000 at CWL.....

[DanielP]

Hi,

Just drove by CWL and noticed this parked up by the fuel depot. Does anyone know why it was there, as it's a very unusual visitor?

Just being nosey!

Football special from HUY I think - Swansea v Scunthorpe.

Thanks for this.

I'll be able to sleep tonight now

More likely its connected to tomorrows cup-final.

Eastern should have has two flights to CWL today. One from HUY with Scunthorpe fans and one from LGW, probably connected with the Carling Cup final. Dont know which flight had which aircraft

Could have been something to do with the coach parked out front with big sign on the windscreen saying Chelsea FC.

There was also an Eastern jetstream on stand 4.

I think I'm turning into a spotter!

Was taking the Chelsea team from LGW-CWL-LGW. The Aircraft is based at NWI.

An Eastern Saab 2000?

Couldn't Mr A have flown them across in his BBJ,or even 767 which he was supposed to be getting?

Mr A's B767 was in & out of Luton this afternoon, looks nice.

Chelsea FC flew to & from BCN during the week on a Privatair B757, bit of a step down to a Saab

[c.r.m what is it]

Chelsea flew out to Barcelona from Newcastle, on a GB Airways A320, Don't know if the same aircraft brought them back!!
