Whilst not worthy of Rumours and News, it's certainly something I've never heard before
BBC NEWS | UK | Scotland | Glasgow, Lanarkshire and West | Passenger fixes faulty airliner (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/glasgow_and_west/8136193.stm)
Just a pity there wasn't a bit more detail in the story :D

A passenger fixed a fault on a holiday jet, saving other passengers from an 8 hour delay. :D

Great story,especially this top bit of reporting:
"Chris Browne, managing director of Thomson Airways, said he was "delighted"....."
May I kindly advise the BBC that Chris Browne is in fact a woman!!!!
Nothing like a good bit of journalism to start the day.
