Speculation rife via Twitter as Flight DL99 spotted circling via Flightradar website

Link here.
The Flightradar24.com website shows Delta Airline Flight 99, en route from Paris to Detroit, circling in clear air over East Anglia for around the last hour. It is being kept clear of flight paths and other air traffic, and is circling continuously.
Update from BBC

Already on Aviation Herald

The airline confirmed the flaps could not be fully retracted after departure from Paris.

Thankfully the press for once didn't delve deep enough to report the idiotic twitter post about a fighter escort.
