The flight routing BFS-STN was I believe low on fuel after holding for STN with their 60kt winds, by the time it gets back up to Liverpool area fuel is running low, but not running on fumes low.
Too many will believe that it was low on fuel and had to divert into LPL before even making it as far as STN, which didn’t happen, and certainly not today of all days with 100+kt tailwinds all the way across the Irish sea.

I don’t know if it was weather-related, but there was a fatal accident earlier today involving a fire engine answering an emergency call from Liverpool Airport.

The exact nature of the emergency itself is rather confused:

Very sad news. 🙁
The weather certainly has been crazy this afternoon. The gate that went across the front of our drive no longer exists and I found our wheelie bin four houses down the street after it had been emptied. Mad.

Very sad news indeed. 🙁
The wind really is incredible today, just been sent home from college after a bit of the roof blew off onto someones car!
EDIT – Just realised I put a smiley face in the post orignally. This was not at all intentional, and is now changed.
