Re: BA plane flies to Scotland by mistake, should have been Germany

PS: If I am not mistaken, other than the WDL 146s, there is only one 146 left in Europe that is operated as a commercial passenger aircraft (JOTA's G-SMLA) You are very much mistaken.

So it wasn't just the pax ex London that needed hotels, it was also the planeload at HKG, although...

Re: EK521 TRV-DXB (777-300 A6-EMW) crash landing in DXB

That was an assumption. My assumption is that an inflatable slide involved in a fiery explosion is going to burst and not fly away as an intact piece. The piece that flies away is also remarkably similar in shape to the hole in the top of the starboard wing. Yes, that's my impression too - what I'm...
