    Went to Shannon this morning to do a bit of spotting, after a few cargo planes arrived, a United Airlines B767 arrived. Obviously not scheduled, i was wondering does anybody know anything about it, didnt have my laptop with me so couldn't get any ATC. Arrived about 6.45am today, (tuesday 16th). Presume it was a US bound diversion as it was pretty heavy with a very gentle touchdown and long rollout requiring trackback to taxiway. Any info would be appreciated, she's at gate 1 if anyone wants to get a good pic of her!;)

    UA954 SFO-LHR has been diverted. It was due here at LHR at 0655 but now due at 1146. Word is it went into Gander though and coming from SFO will mean a B777.

    Nothing else available at the moment. There was UA958 a B767-300 coming from ORD TO LHR. Due at 0710 but did not arrive till 0910. No word of a diversion.

    The term 'Redirected' has been used for UA958 whereas the term 'Diverted' was used for UA954.

    Not sure what the term 'redirected' means but it happened twice during UA958's flight.
