Evening all! Firstly I would like to thanks to GT3 for his kind comments. Its the nicest thing anyone within NATS has ever said to me
Secondly, when I left work this evening around 9pm, the first attempt to remove the stricken AJM failed and they were gonna give it one more go this evening. The way it is positioned means max B763 behind it on Bravo which has caused interesting ground control, especially for the heavies from Juliet and Kilo.
The way they're doin' it is pulling the aircraft back the way it entered the grass area rather than tow it forward. They will eventually move it to PLUTO for an inspection and a bit of a wash. I hopes its moved from there in time for 27R deps in the morning.
I'm sure my colleagues who left a little later than me may be able to give us an update...
Cheers!
BTW - whats a runway excursion? Is it like a vacation?
