Effectively, yes, B737 OY-JTI out at 0800 on Monday, 07 August, no moves posted with 2EE for the next couple of weeks.

Disappointed to find only 70 competing gliders. Apparently the British weather has put many off coming. Initial info indicated more than double this.

Championships don't start in earnest until next weekend although many competitors are already on site. The grass has been somewhat divided into 27L, 27C & 27R. This will ensure mostly uninterrupted ops for LGS. |

Two noteworthy movements from 2Excel Engineering are;
B737 LN-NOT of Norwegian Air Shuttle (For Storage) in on Saturday 19 Aug 2017 time TBN, but will probably be after 1900 Local to allow gliding champs to be not interrupted.
B727 XT-BFA of Burkina Faso (out of Maintenance) on Tuesday 22 Aug 2017 time TBN.

If flying was the language of man, soaring would be it's poetry.

B727 XT-BFA of Burkina Faso (out of Maintenance) on Tuesday 22 Aug 2017 time TBN. It should be assumed that all movements will be before 0830 or after 1900 while the Championships are on until 27th unless it's poor weather for gliders. |
