The aircraft was a Ryanair Boeing 737-800, believe the reg was EI-CSB from what I saw on the TV this lunchtime. That aircraft taxied past me for what must have been the outbound leg to Stockholm on Thursday afternoon as was working out on the "C" stands at Stansted. Rather brings it home to you.
Also seen on the knews that a man was arrested during a fuelling stop at Birmingham on a PIA A310 from Pakistan-Birmingham-somewhere in north america this morning. Aircraft is being thoroughly searched. I wonder if there is any connection, given that the passenger arrested in Stockholm claimed he was trying to reach Birmingham.
