Title: DLH494 Squawking 7700
Post by: RodBearden on April 09, 2010, 10:39:49 AM
Currently holding over north Wales en route Frankfurt-Calgary.

Wonder what's going on there...

Landing at Manchester now.

And RAF TriStar FAGIN51 has just squawked 7700 - don't know where that is, though.

Busy morning!

DLH494 was diverted to Manchester where it stayed for just under 3 hours. No clue as to why that was though.

Mike - are you saying that it was diverted to Manchester, spent 3 hours there, then departed, got as far as North Wales, and then returned to Manchester?

Sorry, I was unclear and also a bit off track... (Forget the stuff about the three hours)

The flight departed Frankfurt at 10:08 CET and was enroute to Calgary.
It was diverted to Manchester where it landed (according to the LH website) at 1134 UK time.

If I am not mistaken it is still there and is scheduled to leave at 1245 UK time.

Reportedly an ill passenger, which is the reason for around 90% of all 7700 squawks.
