I suppose using the 3 class 77W's is better anyway, brings the load factors up and of course, IF we ever het the rumoured 2nd daily flight (and possibly the DXB-NCL-JFK route) I'd hope we might get first class which, obviously would mean it would always be a 3 class aircraft.

EZY London Gatwick - Newcastle
Seems certain this service will commence as of March next year for Summer '14. A quick look at the EZY schedules shows the early morning Bristol rotation being done by a Bristol-based aircraft during the week, meaning the normal NCL-BRS-AGP-NCL aircraft will now route as below:
NCL-based aircraft: NCL-LGW-AGP-NCL
LGW-based aircraft: LGW-NCL-AGP-LGW
There are also a few gaps in the evening schedules for a second daily flight to LGW, though not every day so could be a mix of LGW-based aircraft, or just a 2nd daily rotation on certain days.
Cheers

It will be good to see some affordable fares return to the NCL-LON route since we lost STN and I'm sure LGW will be successful for them. Should make connections to other LGW routes much easier, might finally get to GIB!

There's sure to be an early evening flight too, to make it a viable business service. Although my bet would be a LGW or NCL machine doing both legs.

VC-10 flypast?
Apparently it is the last ever flight of an RAF VC-10 today, before the aircraft are retired and replaced with Voyagers.
After their mission they will complete a flyby of Newcastle, Warton, RAF Conninsby, RAF Marham, Birmingham, RAF Lossiemouth, RAF Leuchars, and Prestwick.
Anyone know what time they are due to overfly each airport?
EDIT: There are two NOTAMs out for NCL:
H4801/13 (NAVW)
N55°02.00 W001°41.00 5nm
Friday, 20 Sep 2013 12:15 to 12:45

VC-10 Flypast
Hi All - RAF VC-10 ZA147 made an on time fly-by down Runway 25 at Newcastle this afternoon. Pic: VC-10: ZA147/F VC-10 K3 Newcastle Airport | Flickr - Photo Sharing! The down side is that I first saw it as East African Airways 5H-MMT more than 43 years ago! Cheers.

Certainly not a down side but a priviledge! LHR in the late 60's, lived down there & remember it well. Take away Airbus & Boeing & the place no longer has a lot going for it...............

San Marino registration
A Gulfstream V turned up today with the registration T7-TIL, which it seems is registered in San Marino, a tiny state that doesn't have a airport! Pic: Gulfstream: T7-TIL Gulfstream V Newcastle Airport | Flickr - Photo Sharing! To reply to other posts there is a lot of talk about the UAE 747/737s but no hard news. And the Ukrainian An-74 was back today and should be a regular visitor for a short while. Cheers.

I thought I had posted on here about tcx replacing the 757's for 2 new A321
As Cardiff based a321 is to become a leased in aircraft from a third party.
Heard yesterday that the a320 and 767 of TCX will pass through ncl during this coming winter but not sure on what flights yet
