Comment / It's not often you see two aircraft on the runway at the same time, though every evening Jet2's pair of Newcastle-based Boeing 737-300QCs are towed from the passenger terminal across the runway to the new south-side stands, where they are loaded with mail for flights to London Stansted and East Midlands. G-CELZ is seen here following G-CELA with some local livestock in the foreground.

Comment / Although departing here for Malaga with holidaymakers on board, only a few hours previous, G-CELZ was in the air hauling up to 17 tonnes of post for Royal Mail between Newcastle and Stansted.

Comment / Climbing away for Amsterdam Schiphol following a frosty overnight stay in the North East.

Comment / It's 0728 and G-CELX rolls on to runway 25 for her first flight of the day. No, not quite! Each night, the two based Jet2 Boeing 737 Quick Change aircraft are employed on mail flights from Newcastle to London Stansted and East Midlands, departing late in the evening and arriving back in the early hours.

Comment / Seen here arriving at London Stansted on a frosty morning back in November 2005, Boeing 737-300 G-EZYP is now enjoying warmer climes with Virgin Nigeria as 5N-VNE. I can remember photographing my first MAXjet Boeing 767 on this same morning, too - how things move on!

Comment / Now roaming around Europe for bmi baby, this 737-300 previously flew for Virgin Express as OO-LTU. She was once my ship, back in August 1998, for a day trip out to Brussels from Stansted. As nice as the journey was, the way back was even better - a European BAC 1-11 was subbed in for us!

Comment / You don't see many of the Jet2 Boeing 737s with the original silver tails around any more. Not that you can make this one out anyway - G-CELY basks in the bright sunlight on final for runway 25.
