Well done the cabin crew and all the people on the ground involved.
The Mayday RT sounded very CAP413, very professional.
Let's hope that the passengers were kept informed and kept calm, and that the experience won't spoil their holidays.
Why did the aircraft need to fly around to burn off fuel, would it have been too heavy to have landed at EGCC otherwise? At least he got to book another hour in the logbook
Well done all.
As for the herons, well poor blighters. They must have been spotted by somebody to have identified them.
