All LGW-TFS flights are showing as 738, except the one below (tues morning)which is showing as a 76W, however it is still possible as there is one 767 based in LGW operating shorthaul however there are 2 currently showing on the system (the other ops to HER on a tues) so it may be possible as one of these will be replaced with the 787
TOM4226/TOM4227 LGW-TFS-LGW 07.05.2013 15.10.2013 0610/1035/1150/1555 76W
TOM4226/TOM4227 LGW-TFS-LGW 07.05.2013 15.10.2013 0610/1035/1150/1555 76W
Thanks MM, will keep an eye out.

It looks as if G-OOBH has gone tech down route in AYT from BRS. If I remember correctly last summer season G-BYAT was tech down AYT from CWL for three days. It seems the 752's like AYT!

757's
nsherrin15
Lets hope it doesn't come in three's, as 757 "BF" has just dropped into Gatwick on TOM516 BHX-ADB. In the climb at 30000ft over London, then started descending and squawk 7700 appeared at 25000ft, it went out over the Channel and turned back towards Gatwick with one hold around 10000ft before landing at around 16.00 local.
Not sure is tech or medical or other.
BH is now inbound Bristol over 12 hours late.

BHX-ADB
Just an update on the 757 divert into Gatwick and how Thomson resolved this with some delay but pretty good aircraft use.
BHX-ADB diverted in to Gatwick on a 7700 squawk at around 16.00 local.
The original aircraft "BF" seems to still be in Gatwick but the replacement aircraft has just departed for ADB from LGW.
This was made possible by re-directing BHX based 738 "ZX" from a postioning flight VRN-BHX to LGW. It had operated the first Saturday BHX-VRN flight of the season and I assume it was due to return to BHX empty (assuming none of last Wedesdays pax were coming back early) but instead the aircraft was sent to Gatwick to operate the delayed ADB.
Neat solution assuming that all the pax got away somehow as the original was a 757 and the replacement a 738. I would imagine not a problem on the return leg as early in the season.

G-OOBF doesn't seem to be having a good time at the moment as it was based in BRS but due to having a major tech delay a replacement 75 was sent to BRS to operate the scheduled flight, BF then positioned to Birmingham later in the day.

Thomson and Luton...
Would anyone know what aircraft types and how many aircraft are being based at Luton this year?
Just flicking through the Thomson 2013 brochure, looking to book something for this year and looking in the back pages, I noticed frequencies on a number of routes looked lower than in previous years.
There is even no flights to Alicante this year this Thomson from Luton!
Traditionally Luton was always one of the larger bases after the big three (LGW, BHX and MAN), but it seems now to be a lot further down the pecking order. East Midlands seems to have quite a few more flights and similar numbers to what use to be smaller bases, like Cardiff and Bristol.
I think the 2014 brochure is out soon, any insiders know how the Luton base fares next year?
