Rumour is that the FO was a former PPRuNe cadet ... guess he'll be looking for a few free beers from his mates for his 'war story' 
Well done to the crew for a safe ending to an incident which might have been a lot worse.

Not as bad as the massive Hydraulic failure on landing in PFO the other day. Very 
blocking of the runway.
Good to see our guys waited until the Runway was clear until they departed, unlike Monarch, Mytravel etc.

Yes, AC is still parked at AGP.
There appears to be a problem between the Jet2 engineers and the airport authority over allowing a mobile crane airside to carry out repairs. Think aircraft will need to be moved for the work to be carried out. Ramp space is at a premium at AGP, with the new terminal construction works, so the working space for an engine change using heavy equipment is not available where it is parked at present.
The replacement engine is in the Aviance/Flightcare cargo shed at the mo.
jet2 engineers have driven off to lunch.

The 757's in MAN this week have been G-LSAD and G-LSAE. G-LSAC was the a/c that had the change. Believe that that one is in NCL now. Can't say I have noticed any difference in sound from either of the 2 a/c in MAN this week. However, when I fly on AD, I am convinced it sounds a little louder than the others, could just be my imagination though.

Jet2 Engine Noise
Alpha.W.R.
Regards your post 16
I had a friend who returned from Alicante about 11 days ago, he noticed a strange noise on departure and in the climb,although it was ok in the cruise.
He likened it to a dry bearing sound,cabin crew were aware of the noise and said it had checked out ok. My friend thought the 757 was ex A.A. machine. Hope that helps.
Regards,
Peakp
Ps, He also said the cabin was looking a bit shabby
