Cone,
I heard the other night that G-MCEA had to return sharpish to the UK from Helsinki. Don't know why, though.

If Conehead is right it has happened since the early hours when they were up and running.
There was nothing sinister about 'EA returning from Helsinki. It simply had a number of deferred defects not easily fixed away from home and, in addition, it was replaced by a newer ship with a higher max weight making direct flights to the Canaries less of a strain in strong headwind conditions.

heard from the large hangar at MAN that there was a prob with u/c mounting pins being corroded - apparently there was an sb mod that should of been done on the fleet but not done - an oversight of someones planning dept ? anyone else heard anything ?
