Technical delay? "Is anyone on board an engineer?"
Whilst not worthy of Rumours and News, it's certainly something I've never heard before
BBC NEWS | UK | Scotland | Glasgow, Lanarkshire and West | Passenger fixes faulty airliner
Just a pity there wasn't a bit more detail in the story

Off-duty engineer to the rescue!

Great story,especially this top bit of reporting:
"Chris Browne, managing director of Thomson Airways, said he was "delighted"....."
May I kindly advise the BBC that Chris Browne is in fact a woman!!!!
Nothing like a good bit of journalism to start the day.
