All this talk of no room for additional aircraft , i do believe alot of flights were all for fuel then depart, but neverless there's still room in the inn to accomodate extra flights, these aircraft still needed stands on remote whilst here.
A couple have been 7700's, the Glasgow Jet2 earlier and the easy EDI-FUE which is on finals now, so little choice with those two. I don't think I have seen so many 7700's today and so many short-haul diverting to the continent,
