Probably cos there isn't one.
Here's the abridged version - Conti departs BRS, Conti has problem, Conti declares 'MAYDAY', Conti diverts to BHX, Conti lands safely.

Or you could both look at 28 March on the Bristol thread on Airlines, Airports & Routes - but you may not want to bother since it's pretty well the way SN summed it up.:)

A member of my family was directly involved in dealing with the tech a/c and it's pax. There was an attempt to fix it on the Tue, this failed. A new engine was brought in from RR and an engine change was made. It ferried back on Wed or Thurs night.
