G-THOG DSA

Is the Thomsonfly aircraft G-THOG based at DSA? This aircraft has caused us a hell of a headache down here at ALC this weekend.

Yes G-THOG is one of our based aircraft at the minute. What headaches has it been causing?

After one a/c at DSA went tech and THOG was sourced to cover DSA-ALC flight, it decided to have a radio problem last night on the ALC route, so the captain decided to go to CVT, where the crew went out of hours and refused to fly anymore that evening. It sresulted in the flight being delayed around 17 hours. Is it just me or is there always a problem with THOG lately?

If the crew went out of hours, I would say it was more a case of it being illegal to fly rather than 'refused to fly'. But then again we do not know the detail.
