Aurigny ATR at LGW
Anyone know what happened to the Aurigny ATR in the cul-de-sac between piers 1&2 at LGW today? Seems the aircraft pushed back, was on the taxiway and was evacuated. Surrounded by 4 fire engines when I passed.

Smoke in the cabin, I heard. Not the first time this has happened to an Aurigny ATR, but at least this time it wasn't airborne!

I hear that Flybe carried some of their stranded passengers but couldn't take many as they were nearly bookd to capacity. Again.

Y'know. A moderator with no sense of humour would move this thread to Jet B(ee)last.

Not me though.








Not yet anyway.

Most likely G-BXTN, served the inbound flight GR604.
