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! :uhoh:

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

strange though it seems, believe it was a swarm of wasps which was loose on the airport. had settled on the auringy and got inside....

:)

So one presumes the bees were smoked out of the aircraft.

How on earth did the beekeepers get past BAA security :E

A Sqn of wasps wanting a free trip to Gue.:}

Maybe they wanted to get onto FlyBee?

The Bees Knees :D:D:D

Bit of an over reaction, Captain just had a bee in his bonnet over 1000 extra passengers without a boarding card beetween them

This story appears to have created a hive of activity; let's hope the pax didn't get stung on rebooking!
:D

Wouldn't that be a bee-hive of activity...?

:ok:

Nah! - It was an engine re-fit. Wasp double radials :hmm:

All of you bee-have yourselves this is going from worse to wasp.

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

Not me though.








Not yet anyway.

What was the aircrafts reg?

Probably G-WASP.

Pity there is no longer an airline called Buzz....

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