Thanks for your input..

Fortunately after dumping its fuel over Bangkok the aircraft landed safely..

I'll see if I can get a bug count for you to keep in your lil booky of trivia .

More than one incident today

Through the grapevine (Thai family) I was told "Air Asia flight to Khon Kaen had problem/return".

And yes just found report about that.

2 planes returning to Bangkok after take-off today. Number of bugs on windscreens: unknown.

[MrTee]

Oops thats funny.

Through the grapevine (Thai family) I was told "Air Asia flight to Khon Kaen had problem/return"

Some info lost it seems.

I think that was a separate incident ..

TG916 was in a holding pattern for > 1 hour over Bangkok..

Still havn't seen any reason for it..

There has been recent number of air incidences and yesterday's close call at Gatwick was a lucky escape.

Bugs aside, there are a number of folk that read here that may have had friends or family on TG916. I have a lot of folk that fly that route..

I read the AA flight had returned DM airport and was checked over.

Does Htrw mean LHR?

[tolsti]

Move along please... Nothing to see here.

[MrTee]

Does Htrw mean LHR?

probably..

Due to a miss spent youth I completely forgot to use the internationally recognised Code for Heathrow : LHR

My bad, but I am pleased you understood my message

Problem was due to a hydraulic leak apparently. Pix of the fuel dumping process here: https://www.veooz.com/photos/KI7bxbv.html
