Flight from Edinburgh to Manchester is just a bit more than 1 hour, so after trying 2 landings, diverting to Edinburgh (15-20 minutes flight), 1 more landing attempt, well, you get very close to 2 hours.

I felt like that seems a little long from EDI to MAN (after all, EDI to LHR is typically a flight time of under an hour!), so:

https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=4d2256&lat=54.720&lon=-... is the track of this flight.

Went around at EDI at about 19:10Z, landed at about 19:51Z, so about a 41 minute flight.

Right, I probably got the information for flight time as seen by a passenger on a ticket, not for a plane already flying. Thanks!
