The evening BD338/8WT came in last night and was an Embraer! Though when it got up here it went tech! As they couldn't fix the problem in time they cancelled the flight but didn't bring up a spare or anything!
The night BD340/9WT came up and was about half an hour early, they obviously needed to bring a bigger aircraft up to put both sets of pax on, therefore they brought the Airbus A319!
The Embraer then started up at about 2230 as Midland 5TW ie the 339 obviously with no passengers on though! It taxied out to the Bravo and asked if it could do a high powered taxi down the runway so it could test out the breaks (the technical problem was with the breaks). It did this run and then taxied back down to the 23 end and took-off safely back to LHR!
