Speedbird 103 Problem?
 
Hi all,

I was just standing outside my house and noticed a BA 767 flying over - it's not a sight I see very often as we're not typically under any major flightpaths for BA.

Being unusal, I had a quick look at Flight Radar and saw it was turning back to LHR sqawking 7700.

Anyone know what's going on? Just curious...

And why not land at MAN if critical? Fuel perhaps...


Nopes..something screwy going on somewhere.

BA flight in emergency landing at Heathrow

A British Airways flight to Canada was forced to return to London yesterday after the crew saw smoke in the cockpit.

The crew of Flight 103 to Calgary requested a priority landing at Heathrow and returned safely, said an airline spokeswoman.

All passengers disembarked normally from the 767-300, she added.

Engineers are inspecting the plane.

Smoke in cockpit? Why not Manchester indeed?

Scenario. BA 103 turns back, flies over Heathrow and across Europe and Middle East for eight hours before vanishing in the Indian Ocean. . . :rolleyes:

You don't fly back across the country in a cockpit smoke incident.
Something else happened.

I'm sure I've said it before....
 
.....shirley this sort of thing REALLY belongs with the spotters in Rumours and News, not in the rarefied halls of Jet Blast??.
