Stuck in Istanbul

Justin Webb | 16:35 UK time, Tuesday, 7 April 2009

Our departure has been further delayed now by a mysterious development - the motor on the captain's chair on our charter plane is reported to be broken. Much hilarity in Istanbul - parts are being flown by F-16 from London. (I made that up - at least the F-16 bit...)

Nobody here knows why a captain's chair has a motor - are there any pilots reading the blog?

Some reporters are demanding a per diem. Others are hoping to stay and become Ritz-based local reporters...
