BHX website showing 20:15 departure.

Brum X, you may as well head home mate

I didn't think a fuel leak would be a simple five-minute fix (I know its been there a day but still). The safety implications of something that serious must be huge.

 

[Brum X]

Sorry guys. Primera scare are sh-t. I'm going home

Must have run out of chewing gum to plug the holes.

Every time I go down Coventry Road I see a 757 parked near the Monarch hangar. Pity they didn't use that - or isn't it transatlantic-capable?

That's a fair point, I wonder if it is in VIP config? That may be another reason why not. Then again they used a Cello 737 for some flights earlier this week.

As you say it might not be able to get over the Atlantic. Then again I'd rather have a fuel stop in Reykjavik or Halifax than have no flight at all

 

[Creguk]

Not surprised you're heading home matey... Those car park charges!!

On a more positive note both Malaga and Palma operated today on Primera aircraft.

There looks to have been an earlier aircraft swap in Malaga, with OY-PSE operating back to STN and OY-PSA operating back to Birmingham.

Seems like they may need fuel stops in Shannon, Reykjavik and Halifax. Anyone got a Lockheed Constellation for
hire?

Now pushed back to an estimated departure of 2230

Im sorry but they aint going anywhere, they might as well put those poor passengers out of there misery and tell them to go home.
