I assume G-TAWT has been skipped to avoid potential embarrassment for any dyslexic spotters out there!

This is correct. Thomson basically admitted the same thing themselves, 'due to obvious reasons we will skip the TAWT registration'

I wonder though, will G-TAWS be the first TOM 738 to be fitted with the newer scimitar winglets?

It was not included because of a relevance of a Naughty word in the English language

According to Jethros, G-BYAX 752 has been withdrawn from use at MAN.

Doubt thats a barrier? FedEx are pretty hungry for 752's and winglets is probably a benefit certainly with the extra range!

It would save them a lot of money in the long run.

G-TAWS
The flight plan was for Birmingham as there was a good chance that a fuel stop would be required - in the event it wasn't and the aircraft went straight to Luton.
