chrisr150,
I was the "Air ATSA" yesterday. The VLM F50 landed and reported a "balloon" on the runway. The No2 was immediately sent around. Seagull [I think] started a r/w inspection...he is on the r/w 2nd go around. The E145 is continuing [sp] and was given a late g/a. He turned SOUTH..'cos we were on 06L/R. Can't go north 'cos of the departures.
The balloon came from somewhere in Scotland.
