SWR1174 flew a large DEGES 2W departure to avoid heavy TCU/CB and rain shower in vicinity at LSZH.
Let’s hope the oxygen masks will not drop in this Jumbolino, which happens from time to time in such old aircrafts. 😎

Update (26APR2013 1628Z): SWR1174 landed safely in EDDS
On 24th of March at 1530Z, the SWR35R from EGLC (London City) to LSGG (Geneva) declared PAN PAN (squawk 7700) and landed safely, accompanied by the fire brigade with the callsign SATURNE.
The PAN PAN situation caused quite a bit of troubles for other aircrafts that were sent into holding.
