UPDATE & DELAYED

Rob GM3YTS, Gav GM0GAV and Tom GM4FDM have been delayed by an aircraft fault and subsequent cancelled flight from Glasgow, Scotland. This means they cannot get to LA and Fiji. They are now flying via 9V and ZL. They will have to wait for 2 days for the next flight to T2. They will not now be QRV until Friday, March 15th. GM3POI is on schedule and will continue to T2. The joys of travelling!

T2GM CANCELLED

As previously mentioned, three of the team had extremely bad luck when their outward flight from Glasgow was cancelled due to an undercarriage problem. This had a knock-on effect for other flights they were due to catch, especially the connection from Fiji to Tuvalu which is now fully booked for the week ahead. They are very unhappy but nothing they can do to about it.

With Clive GM3POI already on route to Fiji they have now decided to be operational from there, probably starting activities on Wednesday, March 13th.

[T2GM blog will re-focus on their Fiji expedition with updates on callsign(s) and further info].

BREAKING NEWS – Yesterday we reported that Clive GM3POI was already in Tuvalu with the other three team members stuck in Fiji, on standby for a flight to T2. Today, some good news and some bad news.

Gav GM0GAV, Rob GM3YTS and Tom GM4FDM are now booked on the Thursday flight to Tuvalu, however, since arriving in Fiji two days ago, their luggage has not arrived and is still missing.

Gav reports Clive is ready to QRV, so look out for T2GM soon.

UPDATE – Yesterday we reported that Clive GM3POI was already in Tuvalu, while the other three T2GM team members stuck in Fiji, on standby for a flight to T2.

Gav GM0GAV, Rob GM3YTS and Tom GM4FDM are now booked on the Saturday flight to Tuvalu.

They were initially booked on the Thursday flight, however, since arriving in Fiji 2.5 days ago, their luggage has not arrived and is still missing. The Saturday flight is their last chance of going to Tuvalu — if no luggage by then they will return home.

Fingers firmly crossed their missing luggage arrives.

UPDATE II – Luggage has now arrived in Auckland (never left London until Wednesday whilst the team departed last Sunday) and will be with the guys in Fiji tomorrow. Plans for Tuvalu on Saturday are still on.
