Indeed! What got me is that there was no stand for him to use at EDI. Surely it would have been better to divert to Glasgow where all the passengers who were, no doubt, positively busting, could have nipped into the terminal for a relaxing slash whilst they fixed the cludgies on the aircraft :confused:
It wasn’t the only diversion that night. A KLM 777 Dulles-Amsterdam diverted into PIK as it was short of fuel. Don’t think it stayed very long 😮
Aircraft was parked on the cargo ramp, I assumed for maintenance purposes. Passengers would have had to clear customs if they had been let into the terminal which wasn’t really an option I don’t think.

Excellent shots.
It was the CPH flight that diverted in, was gone by 0645 though so not many people up at that time to catch it I’d imagine, nice way to start your morning knowing you’ve got an aircraft overflowing with **** parked on the other side of the airport.;)

Nice set Robert, was going to join the exodus east on sunday, but, the black clouds changed my mind for me.
Well done.

Excellent shots.
Nice pics Robert. I guess you weren’t there early enough to capture the Continental 757 to (I think) Hamburg that diverted to EDI due to the toilets not working 😉
