Hello. I was on a Ryanair flight last night LRH-STN, on approach STN at approx 18.20 (so it was dark) when we had to go around. Our next attempt was a normal landing, apart from what I thought was heavier than normal braking - although I'm not a veteran of STN, so I might be wrong on that point. However, I noticed the fire trucks on the apron with their blues flashing as we touched down. No problems as far as I could tell, nothing dramatic.
I asked the cabin crew about it as I left, and was told that the reason for the GA was "a squirrel on the runway"....
I'm assuming that if this is true (why would they not say if there had been a problem?), the fire trucks were just there testing their lights by coincidence.
Anyone "in the know" confirm this? Cheers!
