About 2 hours late

That's a bit anti-social. Possibly A4O-MG, which has flown at BFI on 22/06, others appear still stored.

MG it is, MJ is also just about ready.
A4O-MG airborne

ETA now 03:15. Normally daystops but cannot confirm this one will.

The upside of having a BA Engineering base on site. They were able to continue after repairs to an unspecified technical fault. The aircraft turned back initially over the Outer Hebrides after a couple of circuits of Stornoway before descending to Glasgow.

AFAIK they repaired a faulty generator, could be a common A&B item ? Alternatively perhaps a Boeing qualified engineer flew in with the parts ?
