The above is correct but....

With a cityhopper colour scheme - the aircraft is a VLM F50 that has a VLM crew who operate "on behalf of KLM"

Go here and then select find flight and search for LHR/RTM - on KL1338 click the F50 link

I think you`ll find that the Fokker 50 tab on the search shows you who flys F50`s into Rotterdam and where they go not who they code share with.:rolleyes:

:sad::= Stand corrected ... apologies all round :uhoh:

Stay cool niknak or you might burst a blood vessel or three :} :)

BA return to LHR
 

Hello all

I just see that a BA (not sure on a/c type e.t.c..) has returned to LHR today due to a bird strike on the left wing. Caused some problems with the flaps when they were extended. A big old seagull was the victim.

Once again thats all ive been told, so if im wrong in anyway then im sorry:)

Return to MAN

Only 50 passengers on a 757? :eek:

End of holiday season. You'll probably find 235 passengers in Faro wondering why their flight is delayed though...

Heard the whole thing on Freq this morning.....no stress or hassle, they stopped climb at fl150, then descended to fl100..before getting vectors back to MAN.

Terror at Manchester Airport
 

Daily Mail - Friday 7th September

Over 500 terrified passengers, seconds from suffocation, were forced to land at Manchester Airport early this morning after thier Boing holiday jet developed a lethal and unrecoverable fault. With the airport on full alert - fire engines and everything - the pilots grappled with the controls of the stricken aircraft to bring in the rogue jet to a stop on the runway, narrowly missing the approach roads to the airport.

Chardonney Smith, a terrified passenger on the jet, said that they had just started to get stuck into some Vodkas and WKDs on the 05:45am flight when the Captain - his voice quivering in terror - said they must return to Manchester or else they were doomed.

Once safely on the ground hoards of unqualified Eastern European illegal immigrant boffins boarded the stricken plane and, using cellotape and a paperclip, fixed the problem. After a prolonged delay the passengers - now hysterical with fear - boarded the jet and went on their way.

A spokesman for the aircraft operator said that there had been a minor problem with with a computer on board the aircraft, and engineers on the ground had advised the captain to return to base as a precaution.

This journalist has since discovered that computational machines are very unreliable on aircraft and very suceptible to lightening strikes and stray pidgeons. There have been at least 1 other case since 1934 of a Boeing 757 aircraft almost suffocating its helpless passengers because of computational failures.

Thank you Cherokee - I enjoyed that.:ok:

Jersey 532 declared PAN at GLW
 

Has got 3 greens but indicates stuck nose wheel door...making his second approach now with request for services "just in case".

Listening out!

So is this nose fully up or is it just a warning in the cockpit? Good luck to them...

I didn't know Flybe operated to the USA. Hope it was uneventful though.

Did a GA about 4 miles out and nose wheel "seemed to stay down. Went to the hold over GOW at 6000' for checks and has now reported indicating all gear down but has a stuck nose wheel door indication. Seems he is happy to continue to land on 23 but has reported PAN for services to be in attendance.

Mayday over Kefalonia
 

Nordic 5905 (An MD 82?)declared an emergency over LGKF at 16:30 GMT yesterday 19th Sept. This followed a very early 'go around' to Runway 32 and a similar approach to 14. They declared a Mayday and asked for an immediate routing to Athens due to low fuel. The flight was heading westerly at this time and took 5-10 mins to turn towards the Greek mainland. I got the impression they were eventually routed to Preveza. A TUI flight got into LGKF on 32 about 15 mins before the Nordic approach. Anyone have further info? Was Nordic 5905 originally destined for Kefalonia?

I think it's still at EDI awaiting repairs - maybe an engine change?

Ba Pan
 

Heard a PAN call late morning from a BA aircraft in the London TMA, anyone know anything about it?

If you're referring to the BA154 it was a medical emergency.
