Diversions
With the season of RVR's upon us I thought it might make interesting reading over the winter if we had a thread where we could post what if any diversions have turned up at your local airport.
Long gone have the days where we would get 20 or more divs on the deck at Manchester when Londons big three were socked out for days at a time, but i still think it makes for interesting listning/viewing when other airfields movements turn up.
Post away people...........

In prehistoric days I was a pax on an Icelandic stretch DC-8 that was diverted from Keflavik to Prestwick. A number of hours after departure from Luxemburg it was announced that Keflavik was socked in and we were diverting to Shannon. Eventually that was changed to Prestwick. After refueling we took off on a rainy midnight for nonstop to New York.
