Jet2's G-GDFB (B733) has been clipped by a Ryanair B737 while parked at EMA.

Was GDFB due to fly out somewhere or was it 'resting?
If it were on a schedule, what replaced it?
At 27 yrs old that clout by RYR might have signed its death warrant. Possibly.

Jethro's reporting tonight that the second Air Tanker A330-243 (G-VYGM) lease has been extended to full time till the end of Nov 2022.
Looks like both A330's will be year round leases now!

Into winter however, might be a different story, as the B738's have been replacing the B733's.

G-DRTF paint scheme question
Ok, its Slow Saturday do please allow an Anorak question.
Just seen that G-DRTF with silver grey/red livery has a vertical white and red stripe on the left side, immediately behind cockpit.
Others in same scheme don't have it but my check was quite cursory - there may may be others.
Is there a significance in this stripe?
(Ignore Mrs sixchannel who reckons its where the cockpit was zipped on when they built it.)
