by Thomas Cook Scandinavia on 7th July. It returned on 10th July then

Piper PA-32R-301T G-UNAC visited Airtime Aviation from 30th May
to 20th June, and SNJ-7C Texan G-BRVG departed on 6th June in its
Quattro livery. Test flown on the 8th June was long term stored Piper
PA-46-350P JetProp DLX N461VF. It was only airborne for five minutes
& kept the wheels down all the time – probably as it has not flown
since arriving as N469CC on 20th January 2017. Piper PA-28-
G-BPDT arrived on 13th June for painting while Piper PA-30-160 N7EY
departed on 16th June. Piper PA-46-350P JetProp DLX HS-TOM visited

back from 15th to 24th June before departing to Lelystad. Beech U-8F
N911CS arrived on 24th June for work. Luscombe 8E N575DW has been
very active from Airtime Aviation recently, so may have found a new
owner. Piper PA-28-181 G-BHZE finally departed on 2nd July, having
arrived on 26th March for a supposed two-month stay. Piper
PA-28R-201 G-IBFW arrived on 2nd July, while Piper PA-46-500TP

in yellow primer. BN-2T Islander G-BJED flew numerous flights
throughout the month, while sister-ship G-BJOH was active daily from
22nd June using callsign “Bobcat 18”. On the 11th June BN-2T Islanders
G-BIIO, G-BJED, G-BJOH & G-BSAH all changed owner to Gama Aviation,
having reportedly been acquired for a new contract, so they are now
based rather than just on extended maintenance. Commander 690C
N940AC was registered G-LEGZ last month but was outside the hangar
on 31st May still with the US marks taped on over the British marks.
BAE Systems swapped their Beech 250s with M-CDMS departing on

21st June. Global 5000 M-JSMN and Global Express XRS VP-CYT were
both test flown again on 25th June, which suggests they are possibly
stored here. Slightly smaller in size, Piper PA-32R-301 G-ELLA was
outside the hangar on 20th June for engine runs. Its arrival date is
unknown but it departed to White Waltham on 25th June. Long termer
Challenger 604 G-RCAV was re-registered G-DAYA on 26th June but has
yet to emerge from the hangar as such. Challenger 605 A6-SAJ arrived
on 6th July while Global Express 2-JFJC was re-registered 9H-AYS early

resident while DA 40 G-CTSX also arrived on 30th May from Ponte de
Sor, Portugal, but did not become active on local training flights until
14th June. Of the new Piper PA-28-181s, G-LCTB routed Coventry to
Dinard on 26th June on its way to Portugal, while sister-ship G-LCTA
has already been photographed at Ponte de Sor, so both seem to be
based there.

months on 21st June when it flew to Birmingham & back.
