    @Dave - Any idea why Little red's aircraft registration still on "EI" it supposed to be "G" ? Does this mean these birds are on short-term lease (wet-lease) ? Please advise ?

    I took the following pictures from LHR.

                  Looks like it could have been taking off too steeply, and stalled, very sad..

                    Suspects that it was a cargo shift caused CG change and the hight pitch

                        Airbus A320 has close encounter with UFO

                        The Airprox report reveals that an alarmed pilot alerted traffic controllers to the presence of 'something' passing just 300-400 feet under his plane

                        A passenger aircraft above Scotland had a narrow miss with an unidentified flying object, a report by the UK Airprox Board has revealed.

                        The Airbus A320 was 4,000 feet above Glasgow when the incident occurred on a clear day at the beginning of December.

                        The report reveals that an alarmed pilot alerted traffic controllers to the presence of 'something' passing just 300-400 feet under his plane.

                        The pilot logged the risk of collision with the object, which did not appear on radar, as 'high'.

                        A report by investigators was unable to establish what the object had been

                        The aircraft involved was approaching Glasgow airport on 2 December 2012 when the incident happened, according to the BBC.

                        The plane was making its approach over the Baillieston area of the city with landing lights on.

                        The non-flying pilot reported seeing an object "loom ahead" at a range of about 100m.

                        The cockpit transcript reveals the immediate aftermath of the alleged near-miss with the A320 pilots reporting the object was "quite large" and "blue and yellow".

                        The pilot sought confirmation of anything in the area and air traffic control confirmed they had nothing on radar. The controller said that he was not talking to anyone else in that area and that nothing had shown up on radar.

                        According to the BBC, once the aircraft had landed, the pilot told Glasgow Aerodrome Controller: "We seemed to only miss it by a couple of hundred feet, it went directly beneath us. Wherever we were when we called it in it was within about 10 seconds. Couldn't tell what direction it was going but it went right underneath us."

                        The Airprox report concludes: "Investigation of the available surveillance sources was unable to trace any activity matching that described by the A320 pilot. Additionally there was no other information to indicate the presence or otherwise of activity in the area."

                              Thanks Max! for sharing the picture of Cebu Pacific A333. It looks like this A333 (RP-C3341) will be delivered to MNL in mid-June 2013. Three other A333s will be delivered between Sep 2013 and 2014.

                              First A333 will be used for ICN and SIN effective 1-Jul-13. Bad news, Changi Airport Website showing Cebu Pacific to cut the frequency of MNL-SIN service from 32 to 25 weekly due to introducing WB into the service. 5J799 is cancelled and 5J813 replacing 5J801.

                              Initially, RP-C3341 will pull the flights in the following pattern.

                              MNL-ICN - 15:20 - 20:05 - 5J188 - Daily | ICN-MNL - 21:35 - 00:25 - 5J189 - Daily

                              MNL-SIN - 05:40 - 09:05 - 5J813 - Daily | SIN-MNL - 10:35 - 14:00 - 5J814 - Daily

                              @ecureilx - Will they reduce ICN service ?

                                failed ratchet straps caused this?
