Thompson incident at Cancun

[Mr @ Spotty M]

You don't need all the chutes for a ferry flight back to the UK.

Thompson/Tomson/Thomson - spelling

The spelling of Thomson comes from the original owners (Canadian), whose empire included newspapers and publishing.

The Britannia name went as part of the trend towards creating one brand 'experience' for customers from travel agent through airline to holiday company (a la Air 2000 to FC Airways and JMC to Thomas Cook Airlines).

Pity the focus groups / marketing men didn't "bring back" the original { and best ! } name----Euravia .

[Mr A Tis]

TUI fly, is much easier to spell & remember.
Lets's face it, this TOM mob isn't a patch on the old Britannia airline. So who cares what or how they spell todays name?

I don't believe YJ did ferry back, I was told it was coming back with the planned pax on.....thus all chutes required

[DooblerChina]

YG dispatched from Man, one chute taken off YG to put onto YJ. Both Aircraft now back in UK. Dispatch only possible with one chute U/S.DCPS YJ only blew 2 slides as it was attached to an airbridge at the time.

NO fire. Oil leak / heat exchanger / something or other. Oil on hot components, smopke into Aircon ducting, into cabin. AFAIAA, only Doors 3 slides (overwing) used as on stand. Everyone else out through normal doors / steps / airbridge. No doubt very unpleasant for all involved but no hero pilots or primary schools involved.
