Belfast plane in emergency landing at Cork airport
This on the BBC web site today
A plane travelling from Belfast to Barcelona had to make an emergency landing in the Republic of Ireland following a suspected fuel leak.
One hundred and forty-nine people were on board the Boeing 737-300 series charter flight when the pilot reported the leak and it was diverted to Cork.
The airport's emergency response plan was activated.
However, it was stood down shortly after the plane landed safely at 23:45 BST on Tuesday.
A spokesman at Cork Airport confirmed that the passengers and crew were accommodated in Cork overnight before continuing on their journey to Barcelona.
The Boeing aircraft is operated by Air Contractors Limited.

Well the title of the thread:
1. Suggests that the aircraft is an SC5 Belfast, and:
2. Suggests that said Belfast declared an emergency
But reading on there is no such suggestion of an emergency, merely "the pilot reported the leak and it was diverted to Cork"
So perhaps the mods considered this to be "spotter reporting"!

Reports elsewhere indicate that the crew did in fact declare an emergency.
