Well here we sit, on a runway,not sure exactly where it is,Argentina somewhere. Very strong +100km winds prevented us landing in El Calafarte so a detour was made to find somewhere safe to land. At one point we were flying over the southern Atlantic ocean,then we turned back towards land.
An hour and a bit after we were to land at EC we made a bumpy landing in a what looks like a very remote place. We have been sitting here now for over an hour,latest news is that we will fly back to BA and wait until airport is opened again ( talk of a day or two!! ) As you can imagine there is a lot of hand waving and excited Latin gestures.
Outside is flat, dry, and generally windswept. Other planes appear to have been diverted here too, so I imagine soon there will be a general shortage of food and drink.
18.50 BA finally back in the big smoke,really never expected to be back here in a hurry.
Total confusion reigns, no one knows what is happening, will keep you updated
