Having landed midweek in the morning, and taxied round to Stand 26, it staggers me how any additional flights could have been handled. The entire airfield seemed rammed with aircraft including a sizeable contingent of wide-bodies bulking it right out. This was BEFORE any diversions were accepted.
It's clear ramp space is at a premium with the T2 works underway - where would those 'lost' 9 Monarch aircraft have ever got to park?
