       Had just under three hours up at Newcastle for the arrival of a Boeing 717 that was bringing in a French rugby team for Friday nights match against the Newcastle Falcons... The weather was bright but cold with the odd snow shower so stayed longer than expected for some of the more common stuff in nice light,  anyway the more interesting stuff were.... Volotea Boeing 717 EI-EXI arriving from Toulon as (VOE9010), Eastern Airways Saab 2000 G-CERZ departing to Aberdeen as (BEE7612), Cityjet BAe RJ85 EI-RJX departing to Paris as (AFR1059), and lastly Eurowings Airbus A320 D-AEWL departing to Dussledorf as (EWG9338).

      A trio of Cargo Aircraft seen me head down to Doncaster Robin Hood Airport for a few hours, two arrived before i got their but were due out as the third was due in, so decided to time it later and catch all three...    anyway Antonov Design Bureau Antonov AN124 UR-82007 arrived from Kiev Gostomel as (ADB213F) and was due out at 4PM on an Relief/Aid flight due to the recent typhoon in the South Africa area, but got delayed, eventually leaving after dark as (ADB2729) to Milan Malpensa.

Nothing much going on between these flights other than a tasty classic PA23 Geronimo N4422P, which routed from High Wycombe to Nottingham Tollerton.
