Father-in-law was a passenger on the ASW flight out of PLH last night (04 DEC 08) heading for GLA. Whilst over Wales, the captain came on and advised of an immediate return to PLH due to 'Navigational issues with the aircraft'. The aircraft was yawing quite noticably just before the announcement...
Upon landing at PLH, the passengers were taken off the aircraft and put back into the terminal building. A spare Dash8 was available at PLH and they commenced their journey 40 mins later without incident.
In the local PLH paper today, there is an article regarding this flight saying that 12 fire engines were scrambled from nearby stations, and local roads around PLH were closed until the aircraft was on the deck.
Anyone have any further?
