Does anybody know what happened to easyjet G-TTOJ out of LGW to CFU on September 19th, flight no. 8759. We left late with a non-working APU and after 30 minutes flight turned back for LGW. Pilot said after ladning 'this plane is dead'.
Also, does anybody know what happened to easyjet G-EZTJ out of CFU to LGW on September 29th, flight no. 8752, delayed departure approx. 21 hours (had time to swim as a result and have a good ouzo)? They had to bring technician from Bournemouth to fix whatever it was.
I was on both of them and was told by easyjet staff while waiting at Gatwick in the first case that the delay in landing following the emergency was due to the aircraft damping fuel!!! I am unaware of any A320s that can dump fuel. If I am wrong I stand to be corrected.
