The Guardian is reporting there was a problem with a Spanair plane's engines at the weekend:

"Spanair confirmed an MD-82 was forced to make an emergency landing last Saturday on a flight from Lanzarote in the Canary Islands to Madrid because of problems with both of its engines. The plane landed in the nearby island of Gran Canaria, the destination of yesterday's flight.
A company official said he did not know if the same plane was involved in both cases."

If said official "did not know", I would have thought it quite easy for him to check if it was the same aircraft.
