Thanks for that but unfortunately he is on his way home to Rome (FCO-LHR-LCY-FLR then train from Florence) I've booked him onto the AZ 10.55 direct to FCO as he's got another meeting here at 17.00. Not the end of the world and as next update is due at 10.15 the delay will have been over 3 hours so EC 261 will kick in.
