Diverted to Shannon. The second one diverted west of Dublin to Shannon.

What has the aircraft's age got to do with it?. IIRC this is one of the BAe146 prototypes, stretched and modified over the course of its life. I recall looking over the fence at Hatfield in 1982 and seeing a couple of the first 146s which were engaged in the initial flight test programme.

Jaysus, touchy!! Maybe he thought some people would be interested in it as it's an older aircraft and something a bit different. It piqued my curiosity.

Great to see her still working. Saying her age really piqued my interest. Thank you. Little oddities of info like that are useful. Don't mind the begrudger!!

I don't know but I don't think so, they've declared Pan Pan Pan.

*Smoke in cockpit and cabin. Dissipated on landing.

Pan?
I thought they would say "we are in an emergency" like on the tv programs? Do they say the pan thing on their radio connection set? Who would they tell? How did you hear it have you a aircraft walkiy talkiy

0 marks for attempt

Seriously though my point was that they issued a pan pan pan, and iirc you don't issue them for medical emergencies.

Sarcasm, or not?? I can’t tell…… so yes pan pan pan is the required declaration you’d make to air traffic control for an emergency it’s a grade below “mayday” used for a critical emergency.

There's a replacement 772, G-VIIM, inbound from LHR at present over the Irish Sea

They can call pan pan or mayday for medical emergencies, I’ve experienced both.

You’re right in a way in that MOST airlines will just declare a medical emergency. BA tend to say PAN PAN as you need to declare it to get priority at LHR I believe. The yanks tend to just declare an emergency for everything really.

Only non BA mayday for a medical I’ve had that I can think of off the top of my head was an EL AL 747 with a severely ill baby, he came off the ocean at Mach .90

If distress, MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAY-DAY; if urgency, PAN-PAN, PAN-PAN, PAN-PAN.
As per our book.

Here it is at Fairford a few years ago.
G-LUXE BAe146-300 by Irish251, on Flickr

Much-modified for atmospheric research, this machine was the first BAe146 built (as G-SSSH, a series 100), being converted in 1987 to become the first series 300 variant. It now flies for the FAAM (Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements). FAAM is the result of a collaboration between the Met Office and the Natural Environment Research Council and has been established as part of the National Centre for Atmospheric Sciences to provide an aircraft measurement platform for use by all the UK atmospheric research community on campaigns throughout the world.

EI-EBA returned to Bucharest Airport after takeoff on OTP-DUB flight. From FR24 data it looks like an intersection takeoff although the runway is 3,500m long

I wonder is the inside of that plane decked out like a typical mechanics rest area, pictures of page 3 girls on the walls, dirty mugs etc?

Probably still got the plastic on everything, lest they get oil stains on the leather.
