Whilst browsing Casper at MAN just now, there were three aircraft in a holding pattern (above Buxton) but two of them had labels on showing they were not flying to MAN but:

TCX915L from Cointrin (Geneva) to London Gatwick

TOM7BT from Rhodes (Greece) to Newcastle


Would Casper always have the details totally accurate and if they were diverting to MAN (a bit strange for two aircraft at the same time) how come they would have been placed in a hold when there were no other aircraft in the vicinity?

I've looked at a couple of similar sites and seen, for example, a flight off the East Coast of Spain, and the label showed that it was flying from Hamburg to Stockholm. I've also seen 'planes that were flying at 39,000 ft. just disappear.

It is likely that the database that they use that contains the callsigns is outdated - perhaps last season TOM7BT was RHO-NCL.
