I understand that a Jet2 75 had an engine incident ATO at AGP on Thursday. It was still parked there today, any other info?

Rumour is that the FO was a former PPRuNe cadet ... guess he'll be looking for a few free beers from his mates for his 'war story' :p
Well done to the crew for a safe ending to an incident which might have been a lot worse. :ok:

Big bangs.... happened in early climb. Spare RB211 in stock.... on its way to AGP via road as we speak.

Not as bad as the massive Hydraulic failure on landing in PFO the other day. Very :rolleyes: blocking of the runway.
Good to see our guys waited until the Runway was clear until they departed, unlike Monarch, Mytravel etc.

I was a pax on board a MON A330 at PFO on Weds,the 757 looked very close to the edge of the runway & even closer to the wing tip!

I am in no doubt that NM will have a very lucrative career on the after dinner circuit, with the quality of his PA's:8

Any idea if G-LSAC is still in AGP. Word here was that it was due back last Monday. Wonder whats keeping her?

Yes, AC is still parked at AGP.
There appears to be a problem between the Jet2 engineers and the airport authority over allowing a mobile crane airside to carry out repairs. Think aircraft will need to be moved for the work to be carried out. Ramp space is at a premium at AGP, with the new terminal construction works, so the working space for an engine change using heavy equipment is not available where it is parked at present.
The replacement engine is in the Aviance/Flightcare cargo shed at the mo.
jet2 engineers have driven off to lunch.

Might sound daft, but would an AOG engine change affect the engine sound at all?
There has been a Jet2 757 departing MAN this week which sounds pretty different from the others.

The 757's in MAN this week have been G-LSAD and G-LSAE. G-LSAC was the a/c that had the change. Believe that that one is in NCL now. Can't say I have noticed any difference in sound from either of the 2 a/c in MAN this week. However, when I fly on AD, I am convinced it sounds a little louder than the others, could just be my imagination though.
Ahh, so that's why the FO didn't respond to my text, too busy signing autographs and fending off hosties!
Well done mate. :)

One machine definitely has a different and louder tone to the others.
It's painted white and red if that helps?
But haven't they all got RR engines?

Regards your post 16
I had a friend who returned from Alicante about 11 days ago, he noticed a strange noise on departure and in the climb,although it was ok in the cruise.
He likened it to a dry bearing sound,cabin crew were aware of the noise and said it had checked out ok. My friend thought the 757 was ex A.A. machine. Hope that helps.
Regards,

Ps, He also said the cabin was looking a bit shabby

The noise you are referring to is just the sound all RB211's make on take off. I have been told by flight deck crew that its the sound of the tips of the fan blades travelling at supersonic speeds. I do agree that AD is slightly louder than the other 757's, but nothing overly noticeable. Some of the 737's are like that too.
Just for the record though, I think this is sound you are referring to:
