G-SONE Cessna 525A Citation CJ2

Seen landing on Runway 09 at Bristol - Lulsgate on Monday 8th March 2010 was G-SONE a Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 using the callsign CLIFTON 10.

If you look closely the aircraft is wearing titles "www.centrelineair.co.uk" just below the first cabin windows. Centrelineair do have a facility at Bristol - Lulsgate.



This aircraft is new to the UK CAA register being registered on 7th January 2010. It was previously on the Isle of Man register as M-XONE.

G-SONE has c/n 525A-0031 and was built by Cessna in 2001 at Wichita, Kansas, USA - it is powered by two Williams International FJ-44-2C turbofan engines. It was originally registered as N312CJ before becoming VP-BFC and then M-XONE.

The centrelineair website below suggests that G-SONE is based at Biggin Hill airport near London.

Bristol International Airport - Lulsgate 2.3.09

Ryaniar 737-800 EI-CTB departing runway 27 at Bristol on 2.3.09

A quick visit up to Lulsgate on a reasonable Spring day allowed me to catch up with some new Easyjet and Ryanair aircraft. Bristol is a Easyjet hub with approx 11 different aircraft based - Ryaniar are also operating more flights out of Bristol and most days you can see 4 or 5 of their aircraft too.
