Contact photographer Jim GroomWhat: Thomas Cook Boeing 757-200 en route from Turin to Birmingham International
Where: Turin
When: Feb 21 2010
Who: 231 passengers
Why: While en route, the plane developed a fuel leak, substantial enough for passengers to see it pouring out of a wing. Although the captain announced a possible bird strike, a fuel leak had been detected in the plane in an earlier flight. The flight had to turn back, and circled Turin for half an hour before making an applause-filled landing.The fuel leak was judged to be a bad valve, which was replaced prior to being ferried back to Birmingham.
One wonders if the ferry flight was actually the incident involved here:
