You don't need all the chutes for a ferry flight back to the UK.

Thompson/Tomson/Thomson - spelling

The spelling of Thomson comes from the original owners (Canadian), whose empire included newspapers and publishing.

The Britannia name went as part of the trend towards creating one brand 'experience' for customers from travel agent through airline to holiday company (a la Air 2000 to FC Airways and JMC to Thomas Cook Airlines).

TUI fly, is much easier to spell & remember.
Lets's face it, this TOM mob isn't a patch on the old Britannia airline. So who cares what or how they spell todays name?

YG dispatched from Man, one chute taken off YG to put onto YJ. Both Aircraft now back in UK. Dispatch only possible with one chute U/S.DCPS YJ only blew 2 slides as it was attached to an airbridge at the time.

NO fire. Oil leak / heat exchanger / something or other. Oil on hot components, smopke into Aircon ducting, into cabin. AFAIAA, only Doors 3 slides (overwing) used as on stand. Everyone else out through normal doors / steps / airbridge. No doubt very unpleasant for all involved but no hero pilots or primary schools involved.

Are you sure it wasn't just another faulty "microwave?"
