Alternatives GLA, Prestwick and Newcastle (!!!) all said no, we can't accommodate you!!! Why??? Long wait for news from EDI ended at 20.55 when they returned to the gate and deplaned. Flight cancelled, rebooked on tomorrow's flight.
METARS at EDI did show SHSG eventually...
Probably no staff at NCL.

RAF BAe146 C3 ZE708 NOH12 'Northolt 12' training for the last couple of hours - I reckon probably providing >90% of the airport's movements in the same period

That's a lot of metal, I take it a Skycargo 747F would be out of the question owing to lack of unloading equipment at GLA ?
