I expect everyone else will be quite pleased to be within 45 miles of their destination this evening.
Having the extra fuel would be useful but BA.com suggests the return flight is starting from MME at 21.45 Wonder if this means they are bussing the Newcastle passengers down to MME.

EDIT. Looks like a Jet2 flight has just landed at NCL. I would not be happy getting off in MME with the knowledge that other flights are landing at NCL. Now where's that thread about the Gibraltar flight being diverted and then trying to claim 6 years later?
