humberside etc
As you say I think a thomsonfly plane DID make an emergency landing at Barcelona from Alicante. I guess the a/c was returning to Doncaster. No connection with the previous rumour,although,as you say,these things can happen to anyone.
As it happens,of course,no difficulty at DSA.,although again,no guarantee that DSA wont have difficulties,as all airports have from time to time.
Incidentally I just realised that this is Humberside thread. Sorry.
