On the day, the aircraft taxied out to take off from Manchester’s second runway.

 

It then stopped for some time prior to getting to the runway, then taxied as if to take off. 

 

It stopped again for quite a while and eventually returned to the terminal. 

 

That was the last I saw of it. Presumably some technical problem.

 

It first flew in October 1999 as HB-IGZ (Switzerland) since then has worked mainly on the Italian register.

Although an ‘Icelandair’ service, it was operated by ’GetJet Airlines’ using this Lithuanian registered aircraft.

 

The only sign of a livery were the green painted engines.

 

It first flew in April 2011 for ’Germania’ registered D-ASTB for whom it worked until January 2019.
