    I had a similar experience a couple of years ago flying from Dubai to Glasgow on Emirates,same call over the tannoy and a sick child was taken to the rear we diverted rapidly to Hamburg. Being a nosy…em interested aviation enthusiast i asked one of the stewards about the logistics of a medical diversion, he reckoned they had to pay landing fees and fuel and whenever possible would try to divert to an airport the airline operate from and had handling agents at, saying diverting to an airport that they had no handling contract caused problems arranging for the fees and fuel to be paid, obviously the urgency of the incident comes first in the decision where to divert.

    Quite a regular thing for shuttle flights to be operated by 767/777s, once caught a 777 back to GLA simply cos the 757 was in a service.
    Remember way back in the eighties seeing the shuttle arrive at GLA in the shape of Concorde a few times… THAT would have been a pleasant surprise for the pax!!

    Tartan Pics, excellent pics, as a matter of interest where did you take them from? Was it the IKEA car park?

    Cheers Allan

    Over working in Belfast today, took a couple of movies for the ferry with me on me laptop.. Watched the Karate Kid 2010…surprisingly good….they have changed “Wax on…. wax off…” to “Jacket on…Jacket off”:diablo: Predictable indeed but still enjoyable. Have a choice of The Crazies, The A-Team or Toy Story 4 for going back(Think The Crazies will win…wanna catch other 2 in cinema first.)
