[Buster the Bear]

A Norwegian 737 departed just before dusk this evening and light up the skies above Alton. Marvelous!

Is there a 'Group' which regularly (possibly daily assuming movements) posts arrivals and departures for Lasham, obviously after they have occurred?

[Deleted]

LN-KKD was an unexpected arrival. Should have departed this morning after a quick overnight visit.

Many of Lasham's movements appear on the Farnborough list, but by no means all of them. As far as I am aware there is no official daily movements list.

Currently on site at Lasham are the following:-

G-STRX, G-STRY B757's being prepared for lease to BMI
G-OPJB B757 Astraeus
G-STRH B737-700 Astraeus
LN-KKR B737-300 Norwegian
G-FJEB B757 Flyjet - to be re-registered for FedEX

G-XLAD B737-800 XL Airways
VP-BSQ, VP-BSU, VP-BSV, VP-BSW, VP-BSX, VP-BTG and VP-BTI
VP-BSU is still wearing Z3-AAH but has not been re-registered
VP-BSQ, VP-BSW, VP-BSX, VP-BTG and VP-BTI have now been sold and will be re-registered in Nigeria, maybe as early as this week. To be operated by AeroContractors of Nigeria.
N490AN B757 Fischer Air Polska - awaiting transfer to FedEX

I for one am always interested in what happens at Lasham, and what other people see there. Unfortunately since the barriers were put in some time ago, its a long way for me to drive up from the 'Holy City' to spend just a couple of minutes peering over the two gates. So I don't visit very much now, (In the old days, sadly never to return), I used to go just inside the gate, and park on the grass out of the way and view in comfort. Occasionally others were doing the same. So your news and efforts are appreciated by some of us.

Stoneleigh,
Might I suggest that you visit the Gliding Club. Visitors are welcome there and you may find that it is not too different to the old days to which you refer. Food is good and there is a viewing area.

HI

One item nor sure if been mentioned but one or two of the Nor Shuttle flights have Flown the
Farnborough ILS is the past few weeks not ever seen that before and it really is great to see
OK is a 737 but apart from BBJ Versions and 319\320 not many Liners seen..
Yes we all long for the Old Lasham days of DAN AIR Sadly never again .

Yes, there is a requirement for an ILS approach and go-around as part of the Norwegian Air Shuttle test flight procedure and until recently this had been performed at Bournemouth. I understand that Bournemouth are less accommodating now and so a request was made to Farnborough, which they have accepted on the last two or three occasions. The next planned test flight will be LN-KKR, probably on Friday this week, so it will be interesting to see if it happens again.
