Morning all

Looks like the inbound 76 has diverted to Shannon and won't be arriving into Man until tomorrow - presume it's got a tech problem.

Thankfully, Beauty Queen is on her way from LGW to whisk us off to Orlando in a couple of hours.

Thanks for the link

Good ole Shannon - always there when it's needed, be it medical emergencies (although Cork would be better since CUH is Ireland's only Trauma 1 facility), drunken passengers or any technical problem. Although my allegiance is to Cork, I have a massive soft spot for Shannon since my brother-in-law was head of fire and security there when the two were interlinked

Interesting news on what happened to the plane, thought it must be something that was going to take a while to fix.

We've arrived safely in Orlando, lovely sunset visible as we landed and waiting on some food now. Trip report to follow. :)
