Correction - I've just had a divert to BHX - RWY is being resurfaced and there's a slippy patch in the middle that my Captain mentioned is quite smooth and they had 'problems' controlling the aircraft on takeoff with the x-winds......It sounds like the Aurigny a/c hit this patch and exited stage left onto the grass!!
a/c moved off at around 1345 - airfield should be open soon - ATR-72 I think
