Poor weather between COLRE and EGT, so crew requested to commence an approach via DUNGV hold to avoid the bad weather cell. Its been quite an interesting listen on the scanner thats for sure.

Ah right, that explains it. Yes there were certainly some mad squalls here at BFS today too. Thanks for the info.

No problem. Looks like they've hit a bird on final so maybe stuck here for a while. Its not their day.

UPDATE - Bird strike not affecting the departure.
