Dear All
One last post before I leave forever :-)
1) I did not misunderstand the purpose of the site. I asked my question because someone else had asked almost the same question and got a sensible answer (including details of the aircraft's movements) so thought, naively, the same might be possible for me. Not a problem if not. Did not expect the Spanish inquisition or to be accused of lying, or spoken about as 'he' as though I wasn't listening.
2) I understand things change, I know whoever I chatted with might have said one thing then had to try something else and there could be a convoluted problem-solving timeline. But that was not my experience - I WAS lied to. What I was told when chatting to the agent was simply NOT true. No matter, if you don't believe me that's fine, but please don't ever go on jury service.
3) I also know it is difficult to move aircraft/crew about - I'm not a complete half-wit. I believe most people do their best, most of the time. They do not want delays either. I just ask that people I deal with are honest with me. I don't get angry, I am usually pretty understanding about such things and I've intervened when people have treated Agents rudely - no need for it.
4) As it happens, the Captain of the flight told me what I wanted to know - there were 'several' (his word), u/s aircraft at Stansted and they had to fly another aircraft down from Manchester, with crew, to form the outbound MT1726 then the MT1727. So I have my answer.
5) I've asked to have my data deleted as, much as I've always enjoyed reading threads on here while not posting, I've managed to waste my 5 posts in 24 hours on trying to justify myself and I shouldn't have had to. So, I will bog off and leave you to it.
6) Why presume 'he'?
Thank you to the couple of bits of useful info I was given, among the other comments.
