Reportedly enroute Iceland to Southend for maintenance, escorted into Stansted (though FR24 reckons it went to North Weald).
Quote surprisingly, it appeared he didn’t squawk 7600. London CTL on Guard were asking him blind to either respond on Guard, contact 2 London frequencies or squawk ident. So sounds like they never set 7600.
Once 2-way comms were established, N362PH said they lost their 833kHz ability and could only set .1, .2, .3, etc.
Typhoon released flares too to try catch their attention.
