VS075 27/11/04
Our flight took off about 20 minutes late from Manchester and as a pilot myself I was following out progress out of the window. We were just approeaching Llandudno in N Wales when we did a 90 degree turn to thew right and headed towards IOM / Blackpool. I casually said to Mrs Rookie that I hope we do not have a problem and are returning to Manchester.
No sooner have I said this than the captain makes an announcement that we have a loose panel on one of the wings and he will dump fuel over the Irish sea for the next 20 minutes and then return to Manchester to get it looked at.
Please do not shoot me down for asking if anyone knows any more information on this. As a PPL I was obviously following things as they progressed and was wondering what had happened.
