    If he comes in on RW 24 then there are plenty of spots, but I've heard for security reasons he will be using The
    W06 (comes in over the water).

    It really does depend on the wind speed and direction on Wednesday.

    Shannon will be on lockdown I imagine employers in the area had to provide lists of staff and their car regs

    That's only for the industrial estates, you'll be grand for the looking spots once you bring ID.

    Shiny new British Airways A350 over Wales inbound for training. G-XWBA as BA9160

    The A350 looked lovely, also noticed the US VP had a BBJ there and a couple of helicopters, about 5 SSJ-100's, are these all of the aircraft that were supposed to be operated by Cityjet?

    A Saudi Government G4 overnighted, and a Global was parked up by Westair.

    I expected to see a lot more A320 from the various leasing companies but alas it was not to be.

    The SSJs are the ex-Cityjet ones, still looking for a new taker.

    The post-summer period is busier in terms of aircraft coming off lease etc. and this year, with the MAX debacle still ongoing, there is a requirement for replacement capacity amongst the European charter airlines that are affected. Therefore I wouldn't expect to see too many A320-family aircraft parked at the moment.

    2 Eastern Air 767s on their way into SNN from Miami arrival around midday. Believe they could be getting into position in case Thomas Cook goes under.
