Actually, the plane is called "Beauty Queen"...

Gates 17 + 19 are now full of the passengers who got off the plane - foil blankets and "counsellors" everywhere...

Home sweet home. The last one was due in at 03:30 from Palma Mallorca but it seems they decided to cancel it, so the last one we offloaded was about 02:30 from Tenerife. All night though, we were just a 2 man team - it certainly has taken its toll, I'll sleep well.

In the right ciurcumstances chiles give off tangible heat. It appears that the Virgin A330 that made an emergency landing last week did so because the forward hold sensors picked up a higher-than-to-be-expected heat reading, thus possibly pointing to a fire.

Actually, there were 4 tonnes of powdered chile peppers that somehow got damp and started exuding heat  ;D

Rememver folks, spicy cooking is bad for aviation...
