Feed back on 0001 Friday 8th
If you disagree with what I report here, then take it up with the captain of the flight as all information as heard from the captain as I was sitting in 17c.
Departure delayed due to repair of a fault with the actuator of one of the engine vents required for supersonic flight.
We sweated in the cabin for 40 mins as it was one of those "We think we can fix it any second" faults and not worth putting us back in the loung. On reflection - they should have! The external air con truck could not handle the heat and it was a sauna.
We briefed for Gander stop as we were also limited on departure. We had to go out 27R, due to maintenance work on 27L, "Currently a ramp in the middle of the runway, due to resurfacing and that could damage the nose gear."
Made it in one hop, due to fuel saving exercises undertaken by crew. Flight time 3 hours 24 minutes. Some of us did rather wish that we had to make the stop in Gander!!
Yes, it was rather fun. But I won't talk about it here as I will never stop.
