@Bimblybomeyelash

Is it bad weather around stansted?
They have certainly got some nasty winds (crosswinds forecast) at times for the next few hours.

Loads stacking up for STN now.

@Horsemad

Loads stacking up for STN now.
EZY43DW (on approach now at STN from BFS ) looks to have investigated every single possible combination of holds and hold entries in the last half hour or so..they’ll be dizzy…
Horsemad · 20/02/2022 21:36

Yeah, I was watching them for quite a while! 🙂

RampantIvy · 20/02/2022 21:38

Poor passengers will be glad to be down.

There's an Italian drone heading out of Sicily as well now.

Been in the hold and just aborted landing at Manchester

cakeorwine · 21/02/2022 07:55

Stuckandinamess · 21/02/2022 07:56

Morning all. I've just been gripped watching Cancun to Manxhester too!

Stuckandinamess · 21/02/2022 07:59

RampantIvy · 21/02/2022 08:21

Looks like RYR9CU is diverting.

RampantIvy · 21/02/2022 08:22

And SH2L

HilaryThorpe · 21/02/2022 08:23

Doha to Manchester had problems earlier and ended up in Birmingham.

RampantIvy · 21/02/2022 08:23

No, scratch those.

ErrolTheDragon · 21/02/2022 08:23

Sorry, mixed up those two. It's the Dublin flight that missed.

RampantIvy · 21/02/2022 08:25

EUK930 diverted from Manchester to Newcastle

notimagain · 21/02/2022 08:32

…FWIW the MAN airport forecast isn’t that extreme overall but for some short periods this morning MAN there is a chance of gusts of up 52 knots out of the northwest coupled with some hefty rain showers…

Catch one of those and there’s of scope there for go arounds etc

RampantIvy · 21/02/2022 08:50

Dublin to Manchester going back to Dublin.

HilaryThorpe · 21/02/2022 08:57

What happened to Aberdeen to Manchester?

Well if the wind is anything like the other side of the Pennines, it's been the windiest we've experienced for any of the winter storms so far. Half of us have been kept up all night due to the ferocity of it.

IOM to LPL just coming in for another attempt after going round and around and around a few times.
