and the absolute highlight of the day, arriving shortly before darkness felt: TZ-TAC 707 Mali Gvt
Furthermore, a lot of Ryanair can be seen. We wrote down 41 different 737-800's. About 15 different EasyJets (737/A319) were noted, only 4 other British aircraft were seen. Those were parked all day at the gate and didn't fly at all (G-CELP 733 Jet2, G-LSAH 757 Jet2, G-CPRH A320 MyTravel, G-OOAX A320 First Choice). A LJ60 (OD-MHA) was on delivery via STN but we missed it.
All well worth the money
