-Yet another BA RJ100 grounded in the last 2 weeks!
Wonder if they regret letting some of them go to Swiss!

-I wonder who told the geezer to get off the plane - he said I'm not for hanging about, so I followed the procedure down the chute and was first off.
I can just imagine the hero kicking the door open...

-This Alasdair Morton seems to be "bigging it up"! "There was no one to take us further away from the plane" - so in the immediate few seconds after calling for exacuation he expects a full fleet of vechiles to be beside the plane? He could have tried RUNNING away from the plane if he was so scared! He says they were within 20m but what was stopping them moving further away?

-Two fires in one day!
We could hear all the fire engines making their way to LBA from college, and wondered what was going on, someone said the wing was on fire which I think may have been exaggerated!!
Glad to hear in both cases that everything was ok.
