Northwest DC10 Diversion into MAN?
I believe a NW DC10 flying NW 44 from MSP to LGW landed in MAN this morning, and has since departed on to LGW.

Anyone know the reason? Medical, fuel etc?

So it was.

A Delta 763 from CVG to LGW also diverted in to MAN due wx, whilst the DL flight from JFK to MAN was cancelled - just a couple days after it started the route. Though it's back today.

Ah but it was on Wednesday am. Even in Central London, drove past Canary Wharf, high-rise buildings completely lost in the mist.
