Spare a moment for.......

[Cochise]

all the excited Mums, Dads and Kids due to fly on Virgin from MAN this morning. Hop Lips (G-VLIP) went technical (Not sure for definite if cancelled but i heard it was)

The captain had started the engine spool for take off when after a few seconds he throttled back and returned to the terminal. I was there to see my wife returning from Spain and decided to have a nose at the take offs.

What a nightmare - I hope they all get to Florida soon.

Did your wife have a good trip? I bet you and the girls are pleased to have her home

On the Orlando airport site it is showing as being on time so maybe a replacement was found quickly. I hope so, I would be so gutted if that was me!

 

[Cochise]

Yeah good to have her back. My stomach is reeling from the harsh treatment i have given it over the last few days.

Pretty sure G-Vlip did not go unless it went in the 5 mins i drove from one side of the airport to the other, not sure about another craft.

Such a shame

Oh what a terrible shame for those passengers


Glad Sarah is home safe and sound Rob

Glad that your stomach is getting a treat

Hopefully the passengers were not held up for to long

Tried to check it out on VA's flight status facility on their website and it comes back as 'Sorry, no flight available'. Looks like it didn't go after all.

On the MCO arrivals page it said that the flight arrived on time.

According to the VA website there is no Sunday service to Orlando in March???

Although the Manchester to Barbados flight took off nearly 3 hours late today.

Sounds like G-VLIP was on the Barbados route yesterday then. A quick check of VA's timetables confirms there is no Sunday flight from Manchester to Orlando during March.

D'oh I naturally presumed it was VS075 going a little late.
