All dolled up and no place to go!

The plan was to meet Tom at the airport after he finished his cycle from Frankfurt. Good plan!
We did meet, redress Tom, repackaged and got ourselves sorted. Then send the bags off, the security challenge and finally sat to have a celebratory coffee!

We went to the gate at the appropriate time. Then there was announcement; “Due to technical issues the flight is delayed until 7pm.” It is going to be a long night.

Tom here. When I brought this plane in, it was working perfectly. I wonder what happened since I left it to maintenance. I’ll ask when I get on board, if that happens.

Update
Flight cancelled....we are now waiting in a long line for tickets tomorrow....もっと詳しく
