A week in Larnaca

[keithh]

When we got back from Switzerland last month, we noticed a cheap week in Cyprus on Teletext Holidays. We called but there were lots of if and buts so we declined but it got me wondering how much I could do it for myself. In the end I got flights and apartment for £158 each so I booked it. Our apartment was on Larnaca bay and we could see all arrivals and departures from the balcony. I will say this was a break for us and not a spotting holiday but it was very productive none the less. This log is what I needed only. We flew out of Luton with Wizz on G-WUKI A321 which I needed! Taxiing out I logged a couple.

We went to Mackenzie Beach today to have a beer and I took a few shots of short finals. Also there are some stored aircraft at the eastern end of the airport by a maintenance hangar and I was able to log some here. Also biz, cargo and Tus Air park near here.

There’s a high probability that your other stored LaudaMotion on the 22nd is A321 OE-LCG c/n 1988.

Landed there from VIE on the 15.02.2019 and recorded as stored since with no further recorded movements.

Purely from database records and not personal sighting. Starter for ten?

[keithh]

I was looking at that one or OE-LOC as they are both listed on plane spotters as stored. I’ve looked at pix on the net and there are no pix of either in the latest scheme. All the pix are Air Berlin tails but that’s not to say that one hasn’t been painted with the L on the tail since. I couldn’t see enough to tell if it was a 320 or a 321 but thanks anyway. I’m sure I can get a definitive answer in time.


I have discovered a pic of OE-LOC with D-AEUE covering the Austrian reg, landing at Shannon from Larnaca on 10th January so I’m eliminating that one.

Flight Aware has its last flight, (LCG), as Vienna Larnaca on 15th February so I think that pretty much confirms it.

Fantastic log Keith. Never been to Cyprus and I can feel a winter (next) break coming on....

What was the weather like?

Cheers mate.

Bill

[keithh]

It was sunny every day Bill but sometimes there were scattered clouds. There was a chilly wind occasionally too but it was lovely and warm in the sun. From our apartment we could see everything, either as it flew past or in the distance as they landed/took off. If you stayed on Larnaca bay, you wouldn’t have to move!

This must be a recent list as it ties with almost all I saw. It pretty much confirms my other Lauda. The only difference is one of the Indigo/Qatars. I also saw an EasyJet in the hangar but otherwise it’s the same. I never had a window seat either way so I couldn’t specifically identify any lights apart from the Seabee and a Cessna 310 looking pretty knackered by the tower, 5B-CGL maybe?

[Dylan]

Hi Keith, 5B-CGL is by the tower according to aircraftspotting website. Looks like a good trip, hope you enjoyed it...

[graham]

The list is from Plane Base Keith so should be accurate
