BA B787 G-ZBKM operating BA49 LHR-SEA just departed 1905L
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.

I would imagine its more productive to be multiskilled on both incase of incidents like this ...
AFAIK they repaired a faulty generator, could be a common A&B item ? Alternatively perhaps a Boeing qualified engineer flew in with the parts ? I did note a couple of biz jets in the air heading to GLA from Cardiff and Birmingham respectively shortly after the incident was declared. Could have nothing to do with it of course.
