Looking at it I'd say it's an EUJET acft positioning on Wet Lease (on TOM callsign) to operate from CVT for Thomson

why would they only need it for 8 hours?
I think it's more likely to be the Hola 737 that's based at MSE for October. Six hours does a return trip.

B733 ECIFV operated TOM205P/205/206/206P Manston-Coventry-Venice-Coventry-Manston.
I understand that this aircraft is in an all white scheme

The TOM flight to Rome Ciampino (CIA) was delayed almost 4hrs because CIA was closed, and the first available slot into Fiumicino (FCO) meant a big delay. Hola's all-white B733 was brought in to operate the Venice (VCE) flight on-time and protect the days program.
Pretty good service from a low-cost I think .... minimise delays. Would RYR or EZY have done the same?
