Gatwick closed?

Post by Martin » Mon Apr 16, 2012 12:07 pm

LGW is apparently closed due to the runway being blocked.

Several flights are currently diverted to alternate airfields

A Virgin A330 has made an emergency landing and deployed the chutes - smoke in the cockpit according to the BBC.

EDIT :- G-VSXY according to Scotavnet.
