Movement Logs & Heads Up

It is exceptionally windy tonight and I notice that the following flight to Leeds is on the list;
<Departures>KL1549 Leeds Bradford 17:30 19:00 Estimated
90 minutes late maybe landed at DSA because it was too windy up at LBA where it is much higher altitude.

LBA is around 650 ft above sea level not really a dizzy altitude. It's about the hight four trees above sea level.

They must be big trees!!
 
The tallest tree that lives in the UK is the Douglas fir at 217 ft
 
One of the reasons stated by the "Consultants" who reported to Sheffield City Council on the viability of SCA, stated that: "It's height above sea-level was a problem". At this news an airline pilot friend, who was fighting closure, burst out laughing... such was the sort of "evidence" justifying closure. SCA was all of 231 ft ASL
 
A SunExpress B738 departed at 20:21 after earlier arriving from Dalaman. TC-SNF as flight SXS5857.
 
G-OSRB (Oil Spill Response 727) Spotted on Flight Radar, operating out of DSA today...

Anyone manage to get a pic?
 
I wish I'd seen it. Are there any pictures of it floating around on the Web?
 
Floating... Oil Spill. Haha 😀

I'm not up an what's going into Doncaster these days although I believe they have one or two fairly regular cargo movements operated by Anglo World Cargo I think.
 
There were two Nippon Cargo B744s in Doncaster on Tues the 4th October..
Arrived 10:29 NCA6040 JA05KZ
Arrived 14:45 NCA6042 JA06KZ
Therse flights i think were scheduled to operate out of Manchester but they went to DSA instead.

Looks like you might be getting a second B748 as VQ-BVR is decending towards the airfield too ! but is showing a destination of East Midlands on its label.
 
Pardon my intrusion but is there any way of knowing beforehand what aircraft of interest are due and when? I don't be wanting to drive from Leeds to sit around and look at an empty airfield! Thanks in advance.

Heads Up!

i must be a lunatic. Friday 25th Sept will see me doing a daytrip that involves me leaving my flat in Manchester at 1am and not getting back home until after midnight. All because I'm doing a Loch Ness and Scottish Highlands trip.... out of Glasgow
For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
Heatwave Mk2 next week?
Some explosive weather build-ups currently in the North of England. What is it like where you are?
LBA: B737-300 G-GDFK empty down to Paris at 16:15 to operate the return LS268 back to Leeds 20:00 ETA where it will then operate the delayed LS265 to Malaga 20:40ETD
