I see that G-TUIC as TOM126, which should be on its way to Orlando, is now in a racetrack pattern over the Irish Sea west of Liverpool. Looks to me like it might be dumping fuel for a return to Manchester.

Anyone got any more info?

RB24 shows that it was over the Atlantic when it turned back

Looks to have left the hold and returning to Manchester.  Now landed safely.

Not sure if I would want to fly in one of these at this time. It reminds me of the early days of the Douglas DC-10's. Lots of problems and not very reliable.

Seems that G-TUIC's electrical(?) problems were easily solved as it's now on the way to Cancun - good luck!
