    To think I'm nervous going through airport security when I have nothing to hide, someone has the balls to smoke in the toilet.

    Would the presence of a burning smell in the cockpit and a haze/mist mean that it wasn't just someone smoking in the toilet? They did say there was an alarm going off from one of the toilets but I didn't take that to mean someone was smoking, where did you hear otherwise? The aircraft is also still in Dublin, would this be required for a smoke alarm going off?

    Bomb disposal experts were called to Stansted Airport this evening after a suspected explosive device was found.

    The device, thought to be a pipe bomb, was detected on scanners by FedEx staff before it could be loaded on to a plane.

    Cargo flights have been suspended at the airport and staff have been evacuated.

    A Stansted Airport spokeswoman told the Harlow Star that passenger flights were not affected.

    Really straight run to LAPMO for EI317 this evening

    http://www.flightradar24.com/data/airplanes/ei-del/#6fcc92c

    I wasn't listening, any particular reason why they got a straight run-in; was there a problem or it was quiet enough on appraoch to head straight to for the ILS approach on RW28?

    I listed both runways so I listed both the headwind tailwinds. RWY17 is in use at ORK with a 23kt Headwind.

    I also listed it in a logical order
    Eg.

    RWY29/08 33ktHead/Tailwind.
    RWY29Headwind
    RWY08Tailwind.

    Usually it's the Aer Lingus A330s I see on the long hauls, but nice to see a 757 for a change:

    the 757 operates that route all the the time Trebor and its a flight which always seems to be early into DUB, which is good.

    HZ-AIS was retired in 2011 after a landing accident at Madinah. http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20110216-1

    HZ-MS4, which is the other ID shown on FR24 for this flight, is a Gulfstream IV and a more likely candidate.

    Last time that i saw that aircraft it was looking extremely sad without engines.
    is a Gulfstream IV
    Actually its a more unique Gulfstream G300. (Identical to the G4 but with lower weights.)

    Sorry BZ, you are correct, the HZ-MS* aircraft are operated as Medevac.

    My brain is focused on -MF* this week :)

    Anyone have any ideas on the weather this evening for cork? I'm due to fly in on the aer lingus regional from Manchester at 10.30... Listening to the forecast the other day for Monday it didn't sound great wind wise!

    I know a few occasionally land in Santry but a Ryanair Flight appears to have landed in Clontarf a few moments ago.

    Actually make that Raheny DART.

    Thanks all! Excuse my ignorance but say crosswinds would be a big determining factor in being able to land, is there a way to calculate that from the above?

    Runway 17.. Max 30 knot crosswind for that forecast.
    Runway 25.. Max 28 knot crosswind.

    Depending on your timing, you may get lucky.. Hopefully you get in, enjoy he flight.
